Hey guys,
This chick is 3 weeks old this week. Purchased as a pullet from a local feed store in CT.
This chick has been feathering out not too slow, not too fast. Always had a small pale comb, with no signs of wattle. This chick had a dark brown line on the back of her neck running from almost top of the head. She looks like a girl to me.
Can anyone help me identify her gender based on the pics posted. I am new at raising chicks. I've been doing a lot of research on each breed i own, but I want someone else's input regarding the gender based on the pics.
Thanks!













 
You have some lovely chicks -- one note on taking photos for gender assessment, it is helpful to take at least one that shows the chick from the side in a natural, standing position that is taken in natural lighting. Some breeds are easier to assess on characteristics shown in photos such as these and the ones you've posted of your other chicks, but the above pose is the best to use as it allows seeing all the pieces together, and that is key in gender assessment.
 
I agree with everyone else. maybe in a few weeks you'll see more devolvement
