Still looks female to me. Eh. Dont know what to say. Maybe a male with a very underdeveloped comb?


Pics of my younger birds to follow

Dug around in pics because it's getting dark and this boy has a huge crest for a front picture.

21 weeks old. And no he couldn't see more than a few inches. This was right before a haircut

Hey quick question on this partridge. Can you tell it’s gender based on color? Supposed to be 3-4 months. I’ve had it a little over a week. Ignore all the background stuff lol they are in my garage until 30 days are up.

Same bird beside the blue? In the corner.

Can’t really see any comb development on it but the crest is confusing me. Only 1 out of the bunch has a comb at all. I tried my best to pick pullets.

Looks right for age range. Looks male.

Female at 11 weeks. See the even brown? Their color doesn't change from now on

Oh darn. So that makes at least 2 males/9. These are my first partridges. Is the partridge at the top a pullet? I know one of the bluish ones on the right is male.
