Thanks. Just wish I could sex them.

I have 4 - for now. Do the males get slightly thicker legs like other breeds? Two have thin sticks. Those birds also feel lighter & slightly bony. The ones with the thicker legs feel more muscular & solid.

I'll have to take more pics this week. Those mohawks are growing so tall!

Chicks are now 5.5 weeks.

Chick A has the biggest Spitz. Hatched 1st, so is oldest. Has some wattle development & maybe a comb. Not much color in either, but sometimes gets pinkish if hot or excited.
No idea of gender. Anyone have a guess?
(My fav chick & a keeper if female. Of course, I'm not naming it yet....)




Chick B I believe is male. Has the shortest Spitz but small red-pink wattles. His are the darkest wattles & he has a muscular feel to his body.




Chick C- My opinion changes daily about this one. Any guesses? Like chick A, this one has wattles that sometimes get pink if hot or excited. Other times, they're pale.
This one has the best chance of being female.









Chick D Another ? I see a touch of pink in today's pics, but it's not always there & not dark like Chick B's.
When I look from diff angles, I have diff gender predictions. Can any help sex these chicks?
