Looks like a pullet to me too.

My Orpington cockerel started developing wattles at 5 weeks and his comb is much redder.

There's so little to fear from hatching even chickens dare. In fact, it's so easy a turkey can do it.

Looks like a girl to me, but could be a very slow maturing cockerel.  My cockerel was much redder and more wattles by that age.

Pullet.

Enduring and forgiving are two different things. You must not forgive the cruelty of this world. It's our duty as human beings to be angry at injustice. But we must also endure it. Because someone must sever this chain of hatred.― Hiromu Arakawa
