10 week old EE, boy or girl?

[Mommato5]

This is Baby. Baby will be 10 weeks old on Wednesday. Hubby and I disagree on whether Baby is a boy or girl. He thinks boy because of the red comb. I think girl because Baby is the runt, smaller than the rest and still is not completely feathered out! Also there is absolutely no sign of wattles while our BA roo has big ones already! What do the experts think??

PS. baby is also the chick in my avatar.

I agree with your hubby, sorry

That's a boy. FYI, bearded birds rarely develop wattles.

I agree with the above. Cockeral for sure. Interesting color though!

Sorry, your honey is right. That comb is all boy, as is the color. Easter eggers don't usually get wattles to speak of. The coloring is also boy colors, as is the fact he's slower to feather out.

Oh, I am so bummed! Baby has always been a family favorite. The only chick to have pasty butt and required some special attention....I broke it to the kids, they took it well but when he crows he's got to go and I think that will be a different story.....
