Sexing Brabanter..

[SavKel&RynKel]

My MIL just recently picked up some chicks from a local feed store and they ended up getting a 6 week old brabanter, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with determining it's sex. I've never had a crested bird and everything I've read leads me to believe they are much harder to sex. She was told they were all pullets.

Or if anyone just has some pointers so I know what I'm looking for as it grows?

Little young still but I'm leaning towards cockerel. Post pics in another 2-3 weeks, crested breeds can take longer to tell.

Two week update..

It's name is Zsa zsa.

I think I see saddle feathers and the tail feathers are extremely pointy.

Its a cockerel. And its not a Brabanter. Its a Gold Spangled Spitzhauben. No beard = no Brabanter.

it may also be a bad quality brabanter, or a gold brabanter crossbred. I have Cream brabanters from ideal poultry and 2/10 of them looked like yours. they fitted the cream brabanter color but not the beard. If your chicken is a golden brabanter (Gold brabanter cross) it probably came from ideal.

It is definitely a cockerel. She sent me the video of it crowing this morning!
