Black Orp Roo?

Hey all - I'm looking for some opinions on the sex of my black orp chick. S/he is 4 weeks old tomorrow, and I am thinking it is a roo because of the comb and wattles turning pink already. I thought it might be a pullet because when we picked it out, the other chicks (they were 1 week old at the time) had noticeable combs already and were bigger than our chick, but now I am not so sure. Any input would help!

Taken at 3 weeks (you can see the comb and wattles have progressed quite a bit in the span of a week):DSC_0309.JPG

 

 

Thanks in advance for the input!

 

Lisa

Looks like a boy.

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

More input is welcome, my husband is skeptical (I think out of wanting him to be a pullet!) and I'd love it if more people weighed in!

It's a cockerel.
Count the campfires by glowing flames, never by the ashes that fall. Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count the nights by stars, not by shadows. Count your life by smiles, not by tears. And with joy on every birthday, count your age by friends-not years.

Thanks everyone. The breeder that we got him from is letting us exchange him for a 3 mo. old buff pullet. :)
