thank you so much! how much longer till ill know for sure? you thinkIt's an in-betweener. The comb/face get darker when it is flushed. I'm going to say cockerel because the comb has a little bit of height to it at an early age. Time will tell.
Hello there! I opened this thread because I also have two chicks with questionable gender. I'm definite on the other two. Your chick looks like a cockerel to me.
