Hello and Welcome To BYC!

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

I would guess male too but do not go drawing conclusions yet!

Can I ask why not to draw conclusions? I love to learn. More wing feathers are coming in & they are black too. He/she is still small compared to my Blue Andalusian chick. The BA is 1 week older though.

If you could send a new picture of him standing all in his own, that would be extremely helpful! Watch his behaviour and for the tail feathers, the Roos generally have redder combs and wattles earlier than the hens, as well as the hens get wider, fluffier butts, whereas the Roos get their tail feathers. If he appears to be trying to crow, that is another sign!

Obviously at some point you can draw conclusions, but even the best BYC members at identifying gender sometimes make mistakes. Some breeds like Silkies are very difficult to sex when they are young, and then there are always those oddball birds that don't conform to the norm where some aspects of the bird scream cockerel while other aspects scream pullet. In a few rare cases, no one is absolutely sure until they actually crow or lay an egg (and even crowing is not infallible). )
