Yes. The boys have a wider U and the girls have a V shape. I think it’s really noticeable when they hit 8 or so weeks.

They both turned out to be a girls and the V in their combs is obvious. Now that I know to look for it anyway.

This is Bop

It’s a little harder to tell with all his fluff but his comb is wider. And he is a boy.

Then there’s Beakers

I thought for sure she was a boy. She has a wider comb but no development. She is a girl though and her cross beak might have played a role in her development. I’m not sure.

They’re all 9 weeks in these photos and looking back I can see a difference between the boys and girls. On some it’s a little harder, like with Beakers. I’m hoping with the 7 I have now I can see the difference in males and females this way as well.

That's so cool! I'll have to look back on the pictures and see when that started popping up!

It's going to be a strange couple of days. I'm going to post this and in a couple days I'll do another week's pictures. Then when I get back from a 10 day trip I'll do another week's pictures.
Be sure to update your vote on the poll and stay tuned! Sorry for the weirdness!
