At hatch he/she was a tiny solid light yellow fluff ball. Barring started appearing on the wings within one week or less though. At about 3 weeks comb and wattle developed and have grown steadily since.I misspoke. I should have said only the pullets have 2 doses of the barring gene. From the patterning it looks like a cockerel to me but I AM A NEWBIE. What did the chick look like as a hatchling? The wild type chipmunk striped ones are pullets, the buff ones with the white head spot are cockerels. You might want to go see the Rhodebar thread? Lots of photos there.
