Pretty young yet... but does Maxine look like a Maxwell?

[Dottie the Chicken]

Good evening! I have a 5 week old Columbian Wyandotte named Maxine. I actually hope Maxine is a Maxwell, strangely enough. Supposed to have been a sexed pullet. What do you think? Thanks!

I don't see obvious boy. @NanaKat might be willing to weigh in. She breeds them.

Whoa. That's a lot of tags.
OP, there is no reason to be concerned yet. I see nothing saying definite cockerel.

Honesty, I'm more concerned that it's not a boy. I want Maxine to be a Maxwell. But, God is in control.

Ah, I see. Still nothing that says definite cockerel. Repost in 2 or 3 weeks.

Thanks for the tag! It is so so cute.
I'm not seeing much that says boy yet either, but I agree, repost pics in a couple weeks. Such a sweet baby.

Yes, I raise Columbian Wyandotte. The juvenile cockerels are very slow getting their tail feathers to grow out. The pullets get tail feathers before the cockerels.

Maxine has a lovely head, comb, nice round tipped feathers on her cape, saddle and tail. Her nice yellow legs and feet look bigger only in the last photo. I see a possible spur button on the lower shank...but some pullets have them.

Zoom in close to the cocks in the photos...you can see clearly the points on the male feathering on cape, saddle and tail feathers. Pullet and hen feathering have round tips.

The comb doesn't look like a cockerel's but the wattle development at 5 weeks is suspicious. Probably 2 or 3 more weeks are needed to tell for sure.
