Will these chicks inherit crests?

Love them! They’re all so pretty! I have some sort of mix that has a crest but is striped. So cute.

Oh really? Do you have a photo you can share?

Pic is a little dark. There’s a CL in with them. The one on the left I fear is a male based on the barring and the comb. I’m going to be so sad to have to give him up. No idea what breeds they’re mixed with!

And I’m sure someone here can tell if it’s a male or female. A lot of knowledgeable people on this site.

I posted a photo when I first got them and someone said it’s prob a male. We’ll see. I got them at a feed store and they had everyone all mixed together and said everyone was 1.5-2.5 months old. So I don’t even know how old they are lol. I’m thinking the barred ones are 2-2.5 months cause they’re pretty decent sized. So I’ll know soon if it starts crowing!

I would think a male comb would be much redder at this point. My friend had a male who’s comb turned bright red at like 3 weeks! It was SUPER obvious.

I really hope so! Saddle feathers are still very round at this point. I hate not knowing exactly how old they are lol. They were some of the bigger ones in the bunch so the older estimate of age is probably pretty accurate. Hopefully if I don’t see saddle feathers or a very red comb in the next month then they’ll never come lol. Well, not NEVER on the red comb. I do want eggs eventually
