Comparing sizes of different breeds isn't an accurate gauge, but the comb on the lighter one makes me think male. I'm guessing 2.5 to 3 weeks old by the amount of feathering on both.Guys I still think that this light color chick is a male, but my parents say it’s a femaleit’s also a little bit bigger than my other chick too. What do you guys think? View attachment 4150511View attachment 4150510View attachment 4150513
3 weeks old, I bought bantam mixed eggs from a private seller and I hatched themHow old, and what breed, if you know. Hatchery, farm store or private stock?
I came across a tik toke video I think that has a seemingly accurate comparison. The female will have more wing feather layers and her tail feathers will be developing. The male will not have his tail feathers developing yet or not as distinguished.Guys I still think that this light color chick is a male, but my parents say it’s a femaleit’s also a little bit bigger than my other chick too.

The tail feather method has been incredibly accurate for me!Here is the comparison collage I made for myself.
Of the wing feathers have more layers then the other - see the photo I attached it should be a hen.Comparing sizes of different breeds isn't an accurate gauge, but the comb on the lighter one makes me think male. I'm guessing 2.5 to 3 weeks old by the amount of feathering on both.
