Salmon Favorelle 3 weeks old boy or girl????

[Alexia]

Please help me sex this boy/girl. He/she is 3 weeks old. I am hoping for a boy!

Judging from the nostrils, it looks to be a rooster. Also gaps between a roosters comb are much wider spaced than those of a pullet but I can't tell on this one. This is just my theory!

Nostrils???? Gap between comb???? I didn't know you could sex them based on that! I thought as least with SF you would be looking at feather coloring. I guess we learn something new everyday. THANK YOU

I see black on the wings so I am guessing boy. But am not sure. I hatched out some once and they were pullets- very definitely no black on the wings then.

Which hatchery did this one come from? Ideal? Looks similar to the one at the bottom of this page (also from Ideal), that so far seems to be a pullet.

Yours could go either way. It's hard to tell because of the odd coloring.

I see black in shoulders & tail. Pullets don't have that. I'm gonna say roo.

If its from a hatchery, girls can and will have black on the shoulders and tail. My MPC Faverolle pullet had black on her wings, chest, tail, etc. but she was a pullet,
