Sapphire Gem pullet or roo?

[Akgmrw62]

It's a pullet. If it were male it would have had a headspot. Also would feather out with barring.

Is there a certain age the barring will start showing up?

You can usually start to see faint barring on the wings starting at 3-4 weeks old.

Thanks for the quick response! I got 5 sapphire gem straight run, 10 sapphire olive egger (5 each male/females) and 10 listed as Americauna (same sexing as SOE) 9 weeks and a day ago. Of course they came all in one carry box. I didn't know then, or more likely forgot, about the white spot on head and didn't pay attention. Gave grandbaby what I'm hoping is one female of each of three kind. Been trying to figure for sure which are the gems and which are olive eggers. Since got them for eggs not big deal just be nice know for sure which are the gems. I have 4 that are the very light greyish color and been guessing these are the gems. Any thoughts? Thanks.

The white one is a week younger then the others and she's one from my first go at incubating eggs. Afraid to mess up so only did the one egg for first try lol. Her name is Lucky...she's lucky I didn't kill her during my trial run . Her dad is the roo and I think her mom is one of my buffs going by egg color and size egg.
