3 Week Speckled Sussex Pullet?

[Kaittrahan]

Sold as a pullet from local hatchery. The comb is bigger than the others I have but just curious if it looks like a pullet or did they give me a roo?

Pictures as a baby and pics now at 3 weeks

Her comb and white on the chest concern me given other posts I've seen.

Too early to say.

Too early to say.

Still too early? Or is it looking like a roo?

Sorry but you have a cockerel
He will be a beautiful bird though if you end up keeping him.

Still a little early. I've had hens get large, pink combs early.

Sent off feathers for DNA test because I'm too attached and too impatient

Still waiting on DNA results but man I really think she's a rooster someone tell me she's a pullet with a big comb

So sorry, it's awful trying not to bond with the roosters. They have so much personality. I hope your situation is that he grows up delightfully sweet and that you can keep him or rehome somewhere that will send you updates. I adopted an old pet rooster and we still share updates with the original owner two years later... He's not even nice and we still dote on the old curmudgeon haha.
