Hi Everyone,
I'm new here, so I hope I'm doing this right.
Meet Pipi, my 2 week old Faverolle chick. I've been trying to determine its gender, hoping for a female, but I feel like I'm getting mixed signals (or I'm high on "hopium"?).
From the face-shot, I'd say the comb is rather small, pointing to female...
Though I'm seeing some black in the leg-feathers, and at the base of the wing feathers, which could be male...
Then again, the tail feathers are rather developed... does that point to female, or not necessarily?
And a good shot of the legs, displaying the characteristic 5 toes, and the dark color at the base of the toe-feathers.
I honestly don't know anymore if Pipi's a he or she, but I'd like to know before he would start crowing ^^"
Can any of you help me out, or do I have to wait a little longer? What should I be looking out for specifically?
Thanks in advance!
