Sexing of baby Vieled / Yemen

[oligny]

Good day to whoever reads!

I know people on the internet say sexing baby vieled is easy because the males have a spur on the back foot... still I find it hard. For example in this picture, can you tell if it is a male or female? They are 5 weeks old.

Thanks!

From the picture I'd say female.

I am learning how to sex Veileds. Can you explain why you all think its a female?

Males generally have a very distinct bump, a spur, located on the back of the rear legs...although that camera angle isnt the best, it looks pretty clear to me that yours is a female.

Males have a spur , it's just a point triangle on the back of the hind legs , the one in your image looks like a girl even tho I think I see a bit sticki out , post pics in the future when it's older

Female veileds usually don't develop as tall of a casque as the males. It's much more streamlined looking. The males, even for veileds, are usually much more colorful than their female counterpart.
