Sorry if the picture is a little blurry, he would just not stand still!

He's my favorite chick in the bunch, so I'm really hoping he's a she, but something just tells me I'll hear crowing soon. He has a comb that's yellow-pink at the tip, just can't see it in this shot.
He's 2-3 months old, and a Jungle Fowl/Australorp mix, if that helps any.
 
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Out here we have hundreds of thousands of 'wild' Jungle Fowl that roam around our island, since the hurricane back in 1992. Everywhere from Walmart to the Beach has them running around ( makes for fun ).Its hard to say from the picture, but for the age it could be a hen. The color tends to be more male, but from the angle its hard to tell. I would say a better picture and maybe a little bit more time :) . What is the personality like?[/FONT]
 
At 8 - 12 weeks old, you wouldn't be seeing much in the hackle/saddle feather area. The comb is the region you should zero in on when you take a better picture.
 
cary is that one a male or female

heres a view of my frizzle my chick is 4 week old now



or another view

I can't see good enough. Take a close look at her feathers, are they rounded, or pointy? Rounded= Pullet. Pointy= Cockerel. And once they get to a certain age, look at the back of their legs for spurs, although thats not always a for sure because hens can have spurs.
