No, it is a male, it has MSF coming in all over.

Full body pics?

It's all fun and games until you come home to bloody battle. I'm not picking on you, but I've seen what happens when people don't take this seriously. All it takes is a couple flyes with a long spurred cock, for Legs to lose an eye.

Male.

He's not gonna learn, you need to seperate.

I do believe I'm seeing the start of MSF, update in about 2 weeks.

That is true, about the wheaten pullet. If you can feather sex at this age it is more reliable.

You MIGHT have a shot with the black one, number 5. But id say that the rest are male. And even perhaps number 5 also.

Correct.

Silver duckwing, looks male but still early.

There is many reasons, the general look of tightly feathered birds, some standards call for barbless down feathers. Plus like you say it is helpful in the warm climates of asia. And tight, hard feathers are helpful in combat.

It is in part, but more often than not they are bred for it.

My cocks always get that. He is maturing into quite a bird!

My cocks blow out my eardrum when they crow.

They look nice, not as long as I like my birds and somewhat thicker feathering. But apart from that they are fine specimens.
