OOOH I see what you mean. Yes, they do eventually peek out. The one I have the photo of was pretty young and his crest never did develop as I would have liked. Honestly, it usually takes until they are a few months old before I can even guess the sex on them. Right now, I have six 2 month old chicks and I think I have 3 pullets & 3 cockerels. That's based on attitude, tail carriage & crest shape.

Mine is 12 weeks old if that helps.

the one in front & the very back are cockerels. These are last year's hatch:

Both cockerels with a molting hen in the back:

I think mine's a hen, she doesn't have any pointed crest feathers.
But I don't know... Show breeds are so confusing to me.

Yeah, it's hard to tell with these guys...the roosters should have more of a round crest (I'm working on it with my own)...

Maybe you'll be lucky & get a hen? They are very sweet & lay large eggs!

I hope, I can only have 3 roosters and right now I have about 5, I hope she isn't number 6!
