kittyl Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This is Twinkle, bantam brahma nearly 4 weeks old. I'm pretty sure its a girl, Twinkle feathered up really early & there's no sign of red wattles. Any opinions? this is little Giblet, who we think is blind. Giblet is still very small & late developing. I was sure it was a boy but now I think maybe a girl. If a girl then, depending how she is coping, we may be able to keep her in a smallish run with a small friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 From my limited knowledge I'd say Twinkle was a boy because the comb is already starting to look quite pink compared to Giblet's. Even the tail feathers look quite tall and proud from that angle (can't really see their shape). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think the top one might be a boy. That is a heck of a tail for a 4 week chick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyhole kate Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think twinkle is a boy and Giblet is a girl too Sorry comparing them to my chicks same age I have at least one boy as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittyl Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well I was sort of comparing Twinkle to mum Spotty at the same age, similar comb, but none of the chicks last year were as advanced as Twinkle, they (girls and boys) had bald patches at this age. Twinkle can practically fly she's so well feathered. Much to my disappointment I'm now tending to agree with you all, Twinkle's comb & wattles have developed some redness this afternoon that definately wasnt there yesterday! Must be the sunshine! sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
