Post Phoenix Pics Please

My first ever home bred Phoenix vgold duckwing bantam has hatched

it had a rough start as it was incubated by a large fowl hen so she's very big compared to it, it fell out the nest and couldn't climb back in when it was about a day old, I found it in the evening lying motionless, I thought it was dead so I took it and incubated it and it came 2. I've moved the mum and it into my house for a bit as I think the near death made it slow so it's now about 4 days old and finally learnt to eat and drink, it's becoming normal again so hopefully it does well now, fingers crossed for a hen. It biological mother is sat on 4 other eggs now. Here it is with its foster mum, can you tell gender at this age?

I have a question for anyone. I have a few silver "sebright" hens from ideal that someone gave me. I say "sebright" like that because they are waaaay to big and have single combs and the rooster the person kept isn,t hen feathered. Anyway they have white earlobes,blue legs and a single comb. How hard would it be and what color phoenix rooster could i use on them to get that color in phoenix form. They have very nice lacing.
