Pullet or Roo - what do you think?

I think cockerel. That's just too much red in the comb at this age.
 
I've been on the fence...and it seems like some of you are as well! There are some signs that make me think rooster (really pink comb), but then there's other things that make me think pullet (no sign of wattles). I was hoping by 8 weeks that there would be more definitive signs, but we may have to just keep waiting! Thanks for all of your thoughts.
 
With that rose or mixed comb, you're not going to get a lot of wattles, especially at a young age. Straight combed birds get huge wattles, other styles, not so much. Google pics of Wyandottes, Buckeyes, Brahmas, Dominiques, etc and check out how small the wattles are on even the mature roosters.
