Sexing my six week old chick

[nuthatched]

we don’t have to worry about the comb, because some pullets grow their combs bigger then the rooster. I got lots of hens like that

Many hens have large combs but with this specific chicks ancestry and age, it's unusual.

Also, hens usually don’t their gizzards until they are a little bit older.

Do you mean waddles?
That's true, that's typically what will show up on cockerels a bit before the comb.

Hmm, I'm not seeing waddles but that comb is pretty prominent for this age. I'm not sure, it could be either way. Some

All chickens have hackles and saddles but males don't grow in their male specific feathers until 12-14 weeks of age.

Well, actually not all chickens grow saddles, hens don’t grow saddles.

Well, actually not all chickens grow saddles, hens don’t grow saddles.

They still have saddle feathers. They're just not male specific.

The chick is a super cute cockerel.

Geez us. Am I still on BYC or is this Facebook?
This thread is already a trainwreck.
I'm going with cockerel and none of the 3 breeds you listed.

 

[Pmmmmc]

Yes, thats true it is just the females have rounder saddles.

They still have saddle feathers. They're just not male specific.

The chick is a super cute cockerel.

Make up your mind

Also, welcome to BYC!

I agree with the other posters that think this bird is male. This bird appears to be some kind of mixed breed with some fibromelanin going on. Explains the dark face and comb.
The comb sIze is pretty big for a six week old chick.

Yes, your right about that, but they show the saddle when they dry off themself from being in the egg. It is just hard to see the saddle when they are young.

Incorrect and incorrect. Where are you getting your information?
