Gender please

We hope it is a pullet but based on the development of the comb and waddles at nearly 7 weeks is it saying a rooster. Another indication for rooster would be the heavy white on the chest compared to the others. The breed is speckled Sussex. All pictures are of the same chicken and every once in a while another one snug in. Tried to get pictures of the chest beside the head. The chicken in question does not show any rooster behavior yet. Just hoping it is one which develops a bit faster as the other ones (seen in picture 3).

We do have some Lakeside Eggers and Easter Eggers where we need help with verifying the gender but we would like to know the gender of the questionable speckled Sussex first. Pictures will follow from the other ones later in this post.

Cockerel

I think it’s a cockerel. Here’s a pic of my 7 week old speckled Sussex for comparison. She has very minimal comb and no wattles.

He's for sure a cockerel.

Thank you. We have 4 more speckled Sussex hens.

We will get the pictures of the Easter Eggers and the Lakeside Eggers later.
