If it was a female there would be an overall whitish look ( not just nostrils but overall white ) . As photos can be deceptive...what colour are you seeing ? Also what are the parents and can we have a photo of the back of this chick ? Link to comment

Mum: dominant skyblue pied (crested). The colour I am seeing for the most part is purple, but its cere was a bit bulgy when it was a baby and in some light, I think there is quite a lot of white around the nostrils. These are the only other pics I have at the moment... Edited June 19, 2012 by SarahC Link to comment

A baby hen has an overall white over her cere not just nostrils. What I am seeing is a boy Link to comment

Yeah it was a combination of things that were making me wonder (nostril size too) but overall it _is_ purple. I don't know why I've had trouble telling lately, normally I get it right from 1-2 weeks old. Link to comment

It's those middle of the road ones that stump me, too, and I've had them end up going in both directions. Nice thing that hens will eventually turn brown, and remove all doubt. Link to comment
