Please help. We got 3 chicks from a local hatchery that told us they were all pullets..
One of our “girls” developed her comb a little sooner. It’s not really red, but a very pale pinkish tan color. They’re 5.5 weeks old. The other two had very small combs but they look like they’re growing in more, still not as big as the hen in question. I have will posted pictures of my Buttercup and one of her wing feathers…please help.

I might Give it a while to see if it is a rooster, but it looks like a cockerel based on the comb and wattle size. It’s not super bright though.
 
Wing feathers don't mean anything in this case.
Wing feather sexing only works on some specific crosses, and only at a few days old.
I'm thinking its still looking like a pullet at this point, but can you update at 7 to 8 weeks old?
