Wyandotte Chick Feathering

[Chickweed9]

I’ve looked into sexing chicks by their saddle feathers and I’m curious if this is what they mean by “rooster feathers?” It also has a tiny little flesh colored bump on the back of each leg... spur?

Beautiful chick! How old is it? I think saddle feathers don’t come into play until they are older (8 or 9 weeks?). Also, male and female chicks have spur buds so dont worry about that get. Can I ask what colored Wyandotte is it? I believe they normally have a different combs.

Looks like a blue-laced red Wyandotte... but the comb is interesting! They usually have rose combs, not single. The feathers will not be discernibly rooster or hen for awhile yet though.

Actual spurs are a later stage in maturation, and both females and males have spur nubs from a young age.

@Banana and Brisket it’s 4 weeks old and you’re right @Little Chicken Girl , it’s a blue laced red.
Thanks so much for responding!
