Six week Dominique - hen or roo?

[Winderdear]

I don’t know if this helps but I can take another one in a bit!

I still think Domino is a pullet. I found some older posts of Marzo (the hen I posted a picture of earlier) when she was younger, if you want to compare. She had the same amount of white, and it worried me too when she was young. Some are just lighter than others. Also, both my Dominique hens are affectionate and pushy, so don’t assume that Domino’s sweet nature means she’s a boy. They’re just like that

Wow, she has a lot of white on her! Very pretty! In these kinds of cases I'd use the white to black ratio of the head vs the body. Still, though, most examples of autosexing don't go into the nitty-gritty of details when one is on the fence of if it is a boy or a girl! I wish there were more resources about those things. I only learned from looking at many old posts here and learning from what the experienced people say and their reasoning!
