Self-blue D’anver 6.5 wks

[AuroraDarlinn]

This D’anver has no pinking in the comb and no wattles yet. Is it safe to say pullet or are they late bloomers for Sexing?

Most likely a pullet because the comb is small and pale. Bearded chickens generally don't get wattles, so you can't go by that.

I think it might be porcelain rather than self blue because of the pale buff color mixed in-- or maybe it's just the photo?

Thank you about the info on the wattles. We had a blue quail d’anver cockerel with a single comb and wattles So I assumed the self-blue would be the same. They are hatchery chicks. This one is sold as self-blue and they didn‘t have porcelain D’anver‘s but I agree with you, it looks like it has some porcelain. Peachy feathering in the neck and back.

What gender did this little lavender end up being? Looks feminine to me too, but at 6weeks sometimes you get some late bloomers. Also, I would concur it is not a solid self blue. I sometimes get Lavender Quail out of my Self Blues. But is is possible you hatched a lavender Isabel Columbian or remotely possible a Porcelain. What variety did she end up being?
