Mottled Houdan Gender 1 week old *updated pictures*

[Elitefarm]

Ok I know it's still WAYYYY to Young to tell but as there is practically NO mottled Houdan Gender checks I wanted to create a thread for it, not so much for me although yes I'd like to find out what mine is when it's old enough but more for others stumbling on this thread in a few months or years
Please feel free to add pictures of your houdans at various ages to help
I only have one so I won't be too much help but here is "Cordon Bleu" (named after Corbin blue from his afro days) but we just call "her" Bleu
week 1

Week 3 (missed week 2)

Week 4

Will try to update every Wednesday until Bleu is grown

Week 6 update! Bleu didnt want to sit still for pictures today.

Week 7 update! It's getting hard to see her eyes and poof is growing forward more.

Week 8 update!
Eyes are gone! Poof is still growing in all directions, still no red. Definitely getting more mottled! I'm leaning towards hen *fingers crossed*

My guess was hen, sadly a hawk got to her before I could know for sure this was 9 weeks

Sad news aside I have 2 more mottled Houdans to continue the thread, hoping this will help someone down the road!
These two are freshly hatched as of this morning!
Chick A:

Chick B: got pecked in the eye and got a bloody nose but is doing good now.

I am so sorry!
I hope your new babies will turn out to be pullets.
