Here are my initial photos: I’ve just read a post that offers more advice on showing better photos, so please LMK if any other angles or photo shots are needed. I think I’ll try to get a few more added soon here as well but some direction would be very helpful…

This is “Sassafras” —

The comb seems reasonable for a pullet at that age, but I'm not positive. It looks mottled to me instead of silver partridge, but I am not positive about that, either.
Additional feedback/information—

I’ve bounced back n’ forth between thinking rooster & pullet on little Sassafras, that’s for sure! I thought cockerel at first, just based on seeing that comb growth; however this little comb hasn’t grown at all in several weeks and is quite small overall. I’d feel comfortable saying that it’s the same size now as it was last month.
@JedJackson — I say Silver partridge because of the marking as little bitty baby chick. I’m adding some pics of Sassafras as a baby and I’m including Mama as well so you guys can check out her Comb Size…

Mister Sassafras crowed this morning ya’ll …
Definitely a Boy!! ♥️😉 Over this past week his comb has turned a bright mulberry and I can see those pretty bright blue earlobes too! LOL!
— He’s super sweet; I wanna say the sweetest cockerel I’ve ever had actually… Thanks for replying to my post and sharing your guesses.

I guess he decided to settle the matter once and for all.

I’m glad he’s being sweet. :) Good luck with him!
