Hi! I breed sultans as my priority breed, last fall this young hen managed to get 96 points which got her a championship:

This is a beautiful bird! I wish mine would stand still long enough to get some nice photos!

Would love to see some more photos of your Sultans!

Beautiful how long have you been showing Sultans?

When can you tell the difference between boys and girls?

My Sultans are now 14 weeks old and it's very obvious because of the red and well developed comb and wattles of the 2 roosters. I would say it's been obvious since about 9 or 10 weeks old. I think it's difficult to tell from the crest development early on. I do have 2 hens who had very rounded feathering on their crests from the very beginning, but the other 3 hens didn't start having a rounded look to their crest feathering until a couple of weeks ago. Both males have a more spiky look to their crest feathering. Here are some photos.
