do you know what they mean by saddle feathers? I zoomed in on your pics and I can see one questionable feather. The saddle feathers come from between the wings and on males are distinctly pointed. Easiest to tell by isolating one feather tip against a solid background like your hand. Pulletts saddle feathers are almost squared off at the end or at least much wider and rounder.
This is Licorice. She was bought as a pullet, but the red feathering has me questioning that. Her comb isnt very big, but its a bit pink. She is 6 weeks old. What do you think?
Male specific saddle feathers don't begin to develop until about 10 weeks of age, and can take many more weeks to be very obvious. Right now, your chick is showing no indications of being a cockerel, but it is still too young to be certain.
Goid plan ane Junnebugga is correct, I didn't notice you said earlier they were just 6 weeks, way too early to see saddle feathers, mine are the same age and they are just barely starting to emerge .I am not sure about the feathers. This is our first year with chickens. Thats why I was asking for helpI think I am just going to wait it out. I have until she is six months old based on our ordinances.
Much too young to even guess at.Only one chick really cooperated... but....can you help me identify their sex? If they are to young I can post more pics in a couple weeks...they are two weeks
