Got this ~4 week old Sapphire Gem chick from TS, and truly thought it was a pullet at first. As it’s grown though, I’m beginning to second guess. I don’t recall it having a white mark on its head when we first got it, but maybe on its wings? She also looks different from the other Sapphire Gem we got - she has far less tail feathers. Added some photos and the one in question is the one labeled “Misty”.

It's a pullet. If it were male it would have had a headspot. Also would feather out with barring.
 
I hope so! I had read somewhere it could be a head spot OR wing spot, so I second guessed myself.
These are Blue Sexlinks, so only Males would have a headspot.

Any chick that's black/blue will likely have white wing spots no matter the gender.
