Naked neck

Any idea? I heard you may be able to tell by feather shape and color? She () is 3.5 weeks old.

Any idea yet? I think people automatically say cockerel because of the comb, but pullets have a fairly impressive comb as well. We just got our first (and only) NN a few days ago, along with a frizzle Cochin (also our first frizzle!). We're not exactly sure how old ours even are as they were "leftovers" and basically given to us as preparations were being made for the store's next chick shipment. They were very busy and no one had much time to look up shipment dates for me. Here's ours: Cashew (frizzle) and Teagan (NN).

Since it is a Naked Neck, there are no feather to hide any wattle growth that comes in. In the girl's the bomb will stay pretty small and almost flat compared to boy's and have very little coloring in the wattles at all, while the boy's comb and wattles will be growing bigger and getting a slight pinkish red in color. The boy's are also the one's that will stand more upright then the girl's do.
