New to posting so I hope the picture posts. Sorry its blurry. Happy to read any educated guesses.

At 8 weeks old, and that much of a comb, I suspect a cockerel, BUT a full bodied picture would be better.

That's what I was afraid everyone would say. He's too friendly so I don't really have a shot of its tail. Here's all I have loaded on my phone

Here is a 10 week old updated photo. Any thoughts? I still am torn but hoping pullet. No aggressive behavior yet

And a body shot finally

And with my BO rooster who is same age. Unfortunately I have no other SS to compare

The comb is pink but by no means red. I vote pullet for now.

I'm no expert but this was one of my pullets chicks that turned out not to be a pullet I had two. He is only 5 weeks old in this pic. the other one had less of a comb but his tail feathers where point. your chick dose not seem to have that and it's comb looks smaller then mine. but again I'm no expert. when I asked for help sexing him they asked me for a profile picture I think that could help.

I'm on the fence. I am not familiar with the breed so take that with a grain of salt. Good luck. My rooster, who is over a year is not aggressive at all, so don't put too much thought into that. Good luck. Thanks for the updated photos.

I will try to get another profile shot. Newchick, what age did you discover your pullets were cockerels?
