Help, what genger!?!

What gender is this 4 to 5 week old Pekin please help

With that developed and red comb, a roo, in my opinion. No experience with the breed though.

If it's only 4-5 weeks old, then I'd say its a cockerel. The comb and wattles are very red. Very pretty chick though

If it is only 4-5 weeks old, you probably have a cockerel. But, "it" looks older than that. The body type seems more feminine.

At 4-5 weeks, that is a cockerel. However, it looks older than that to me--more like 10-12 weeks old. If that was the case, I would change my guess to pullet.

X 2 - it just doesn't look like such a young bird - did you hatch this chick yourself/get it as a fuzz-butt day-old so would be certain of the age or was this a recent acquisition and the person you got it from told you that is the age?

I agree with the above....my first guess would be an 8ish week old pullet. I've never seen even my broody raised birds that completely feathered out at 5 weeks.

Recently got them from a farm near me and she said they were 4 to 5 weeks old however you guys could be true

Do you have a pic from when you got them?
