Sebring look at Comb Any input?

In all breeds. A female will never have the same color and size comb as a male of the same breed at a young age.

I found this untrue in personal experiences

This is completely false. Until they're old enough to develop male specific feathering, the comb and wattles are the most reliable way to sex.

Agree. Especially with certain breeds like Seramas, D´Uccles, and etc. combs are one of the foremost ways of sexing.

It's true is most cases. Do you have an example?

Most all of my cockrels were same as my pullets, including Jersey giant, Speckled sussex, and bantam cochin. And silkie!

Once they reach a certain age this shouldn't be true.

I guess that's just my personal experience! That's the way I feel,and it's ok if you wanna tell me otherwise, my experiences will be mine and you can tell me that I'm wrong but that's how it worked out for me.

Silkies will all loom like pullets until they're a few month old. Unless you get freaks like mine

My silkie roos all pretended they were girls until they decided that they needed to mate with my GIANT hens, and then their tail feathers grew in

Silkies are different- they are hard to sex.
