Partridge Barthuhner chick sexing

[Sahwithchicks]

I have 6 partridge barthuhner chicks. I was wondering if anyone could answer the question of if the darker chick in the picture is male? The five are all lighter, like the chick to the left, but the one is dark, and feathering much darker and more evenly, so I am thinking it is a cockerel. Any thoughts?

Partridge Barthuhners do not breed true, so you will get some black Barthuhners from partridge parents. If you don't want the black one, I would love to have it.

If anyone in this thread still has them, would you be interested in selling any hatching eggs or chicks? We are desperately looking for this breed for a poultry conservation project one of my sons wants to start for 4-H
