Cochin: Pullet or Roo??

Approx 6-7 weeks old?

No wattles, pink comb, likes to challenge the other roo in the coop often. I don't know this breed well at all, and would love to get input on sex, and color. Is it a "blue" or something else?

Natural lighting, no flash, comb looks a bit darker than it really is.

Last pic- mainly for color ID

I would say ROO!!!  Here a pic of mine when he was 6 weeks,  He is a roo, and never showed the redness early on!  I just hatched 6 more,  and they are 3wks, and I think they are all roos also.  sad
