Light Sussex Roo or Pullet?

[Becca333]

4 people on a poultry site on Facebook have said it is a boy as well as 4 saying it's a girl. I hope they are wrong. More people are saying it's a girl though which is good.

Hi everyone,
I am pretty confident that Susey is a Stanley as he has grown some what I think are saddle feathers. Thanks for all your feedback! Pretty sure she's a he though.

Oh that's a shame. I've heard Sussex are really difficult to sex but at 19 weeks most rooster would have a bigger comb so maybe he's just a slow developer. Are you able to post a photo of the feathers you think are saddle feathers?

I know. Ahwell. Yeah I'll get some snaps when I get home soon.

See, on the birds left side I see feathers that look like they're male saddle feathers, but on the other side I don't see them. White feathers are notoriously difficult to see properly. Can you put your hand under the first layer of feathers and then take a pic so we can see the feathers better?
