Lucky my rooster, finally became a Daddy after 4 years. Chick is about 2 weeks old now.

I've heard there is a way to tell by the feathers if it will be a hen or a rooster. I've compared photos of chickens I have raised in the past. And I can't make any kind of connection.

Photo enclosed. What does everyone think...HEN or ROOSTER?...or too early to tell?

Thanks, will do. I actually think roosters are more interesting than hens, but hens are easier to fit into the scheme of things.

So I guess I'm hoping for a hen, course I already named the chick Lucy.
 
Finally, a good photo of Lucy up close at about 5 weeks. I compared her photo to a rooster and another hen at that age and I'm pretty sure Lucy will stay a Lucy and not a Louie!
