Sexing my GLW

[cferriday]

So I have a lovely glw chick which I raised from an egg. Unfortunately, roosters are not looked upon well in a residential area. Would any of you be able to help me in sexing Una?

Thank you!

How old is it?

How old is it?

Just over 6 weeks old

Probably a rooster, but give it a another few weeks to be sure. A daily treat of some scrambled eggs may help those feathers come in easier, and quicker which will help with sexing as males will get dark across the shoulders.

Hello everyone, this is Una now. Do you think Una is a roo or hen?

I say it still looks like a cockerel. Those wattles are red as well as the comb being a bit red. Others might be better able to confirm.

Yes definitely a boy. Notice the dark across the shoulders.
