is this a male? my two showgirls are about 5 weeks and they have they same head stuff going on as yours. I was wondering if they wee males because of it

Here it is this week, crest coming in... 4 -5 weeks old. have not had any of my showgirls hatch with the darker head---this one is getting darker through the body now though it almost looks black...it was a total chipmunk when it was small. Still a lot of pin feathers coming in the hairdoshould get a lot fluffier with that big old head lump.

Not at all! Sometimes the boys get little streamers on the crest--little strands longer than the others, a bit thicker...and the crest can be more swept back--but it can be slight and undetected for...like....ever!!
