Are you wanting gender? That definitely looks like a female to me. Mine also has a pale face and pale features

 

[cluck-cluck]

Well, it kind of depends on how old s/he is?

Everyone's pictures are so adorable! Hokankai, your babies look like mine when I got them . And your mixes are so CUTE! I'm in love! Wonder how they will turn out?!

Should her eyes be pink?

I did an internet search and it said brown eyes are standard for sultans and pink eyes only occur in albino chickens.

'Toria and Elizabeth are now 6 1/2 weeks. 'Toria's comb has not changed in 2 weeks. Her crest looks a little different than Elizabeths though. hmmmm... Such a good pair! They are just the best.

My babies are a squirrely bunch, LOL. I for sure have at least 2 roos I think, based solely on posture and behavior. I'm hoping for a nice lookin' roo and at least one pullet, so I don't think this bunch will disappoint . I'll post some pics once the Greek yogurt they got on themselves is gone....hahaha

 

[fishnet1971]

Yea!!!!! How can u tell male at that age?

 

[hokankai]

Just the way they stand and their behavior

I've been looking at everyone's pictures and drooling! They are beautiful birds! I just picked up seven little, five toed, feathered legged chicks from Tractor Supply today. They were in the "assorted bantams" bucket so I don't know what they are for sure. I posted in the "What breed is this" and was told that they look like sultans. What do you think? Can I safely get ecstatic that I have sultans?

 

[hokankai]

Yes!
