Newly hatched chick's comb

[sharol]

This chick is about 1 hour old, and get a load of the comb. He? is a black copper marans from an egg the color of the one he? is leaning on. None of his 3 siblings have prominent combs. Does this indicate for certain that he? is a male?

I know it is way too early to sex this chick, but good grief.

It's way to early to sex chicks, try around 8 weeks at the earliest to start sexing.

Of course you are right, and intellectually, I know that, but that comb!!
