Male or female?

Hi All,

I've been fostering this little 'lady' since hatching on 04 June - from what I've read and seen on this site, I think we may have a hen, but then other pics make me think 'she's' a boy!! Since this is my first ever little chicken (she really belongs to the flock at work, but I like to think of her as mine!) thought it would be far easier to ask the question than to keep guessing. I've been told the chick is a Welsummer - now 8 weeks old - lovely natured and really enjoys a cuddle!

Photo isn't working. Do you think you could try again?

Are you able to post a full body picture, and a picture of her comb?

Struggling with the pics ... can't seem to drag and drop them for some reason

Click the photo icon at the top of the text box, click drop here, and choose the picture you want to upload. Or choose attach files at the bottom of the text box, and choose the photo that way.

Welcome to BYC.
Sorry about that. I use the attach files button. No rush.
