How old is it? 3 weeks? Comb development should start pretty soon if it's male.

how about waiting 3 weeks or so to see if indeed it develops a roo comb

We hatched some shipped penciled rock eggs. (Out of 12, only 5 arrived unbroken. They were covered in slimy goo, had to be rinsed, but 3 of them hatched.)

Now they are 4 wks old.
Hoping for 2 pullets, but I have a feeling that I only have one.

Anyone want to guess gender?






a = my guess for a pullet.
b = sometimes has pink wattles when excited (Like when I take photos),; I'm guessing male
c = small colorless wattles; no chest feathers yet.

I think you are right. Can you post a pic of the body of C?

@lichickenlady Update?

@Faraday40 I'll guess that A is a pullet and the other two are cockerels.

All 3 pics are "C"
There's not much comb, but I just "feel" like it's a boy. Perhaps it's the slow growing feathers. I hope I'm wrong.
