Bielefelder x BA gender

[LaurenRitz]

This was a single chick. His sibling died shortly after hatch.

I decided he was a cockerel at about 3 weeks when that comb started showing. It has continued to grow, but it's not turning red and he's almost seven weeks old.

Can someone check me? I still think he's a cockerel.

It looks like a cockerel based on comb and color.

Crosses are sometimes difficult to guess cause genetics passed down to the chick will be split. Knowing which was acquired by the chick helps especially if parents are site. Mainly comb size to reference off at a young age.

Thanks. The other B x cross had a bright red comb at 4 weeks, so I start to second-guess myself.

 

[Tookie]

Yes, that's a male.
