Hatchery said I'm a female...are they wrong?

Hi! My name is Monica and I'm a 5.5 week brown leghorn. I'm super friendly and social, a little flighty, and not very dominant. My mom is super worried that I am a BOY I was sexed from hatch as a pullet...but my red comb and waddles say otherwise...thoughts?? Hopefully we don't have to change my name to MAN-ica. (My mom has the lamest jokes.)

Well Manica is cute but I think you need to email a copy of your receipt and a pic of him to them.

Both cockerels

Thank you...that's what I thought.

The picture quality isn't the greatest, but I am not certain that it is a cockeral. I have 2 brown leghorn pullets that looked pretty much like that at that age.

Here are a couple of pics from when one of them was 5 to 6 weeks old.

while this one's comb isn't as red as the photo you posted, my other one has a comb that is much redder. Even now at 16 weeks one has a lighter comb while the other has a very red one. But they are both pullets. I wouldn't give up until you hear some crowing!

Thank you, I agree it is hard to tell with the brown leghorns. I appreciate your opinion!
