Is this Pullet really a Cockerel?

Hi All,

 

      I have been reading and rereading threads were people ask if their little girls are actually little guys. Well, I don't know if that's made me paranoid or what but now I fear that one of my girls is actually a boy.photo-28.JPGphoto-29.JPGphoto-30.JPGphoto-31.JPGphoto-32.JPG

 

 

Thanks so much!

Very strong possibility that is a cockerel.

Married to the old dude, 0 human kids, 2 horses, 10 cockatiels, 2 parakeets, 1 sun conure, 1 amazon parrot,  1 eccentric peacock, 1 gsd, 1 pet terrapin, 1 Blue Copper Maran rooster, and 14 world famous Jersey Giants!

 

 

Stan the Man will be missed.

It looks young, I'd guess around 4-5 weeks max. As far as breed goes I'm assuming Red Sexlink/Star, from the red and the white on the wings. If it is, then it's a pullet, because male RSL are white, with some red highlights. But if it's not a RSL, and it really is as young as I'm thinking, it could be a cockerel.

I think yours is a pullet. It looks like my Gold Comet pullets! Their combs are kind of large for 7 wks but they are girls for sure.
