Modern Game Chick

[LaurenM23]

Alright, peeps! I offer for your opinions a 3-4 Week Old Modern Game chick. At 2 weeks old, the feathering was very advanced, leading me to think female, yet the new development in the comb makes me think male. The pinkness of the comb is not as visible to the eye, but is very clear on camera. Not being familiar with this breed AT ALL, I'm not sure what the norm is for this stage in development. Either way, the chick is lovely and calm, very talkative and personable...not at all aggressive or dominant of it's brooder-buddy. Thank you so much, in advance, for any help you can offer!!!

SO cute!!! Where did you get it? I have been looking for some! Is it a splash?

As for the sex..with the comb color I want to say little roo but I am sure someone mor farmiliar with the breed will come help!

I'd say it's a little roo. I have a splash MGB pullet and her comb was very small until right before she started laying. Sometimes the hens don't even get that much comb ever.

Definite cockerel. Is it Lavender? It looks it, but I've never heard of any game in Lavender.

I got the chick from a BYCer in MD. I had a really bad experience with a hatch and needed a buddy for a lone chick. This chick is the most laid back and friendly thing! We couldn't be happier. The lovely lady introduced us to the flock, which all had this color. She handed me her roo, which I could have cuddled he was so calm! I wasn't sure what to call he color; blue, gray, lavender? Its precious, whatever it is! The two chicks are BFFs, even if an unlikely pair!

Alright, so we'll assume the chick is a little roo. I had a feeling. I just loooooove him though! We named "her" Crystal, as we got her on our 3rd wedding anniversary and the "Modern" gift is crystal. So we we really have us a Crys (Chris)! The hubby will just love that. If I already have a BR roo, will I need to rehome this guy? The BR seems very laid back and treats his ladies very kindly and is not at all agressive, but he has no challengers, either.

The breeder had no issues with the Games mixing in with larger birds, in terms of fighting, but my flock is small right now. We have the one BR roo, two BR pullets, and one Australorp pullet (all at 16 weeks today) and a 3 week old SPPR (likely pullet) with this one. I have plans to hatch more SPPRs in the future.
