Sex?

[_Austinburnett_]

I have a 5 week old chick that is a little behind in growth because he had a issue when 1st born, but I see a little pink in its waddles, although this whole time Iv thought it was a pullet. It is an Orpington Cochin mix

Hmm. Can you post some clearer photos of his face? 5weeks is usually too early to tell, especially if it's behind in growth. I'm leaning towards cockerel at the moment, but I'd need a clearer photo

I agree it is too early to tell, can you post some pictures in a few weeks? By then it should be a bit easier to tell. Either way, very cute chick!

Both of those breeds are slow to mature, if at this point youre seeing red wattles then its likely a boy, but it is really hard to tell from these pictures. Give it another week or so.

I agree, at this point it looks like a boy. However I would give it a few more weeks.

Still a bit early to be positive. Would you be able to update in another few weeks?
