3 weeks with a pink comb

[AllTheChickenThings]

Hi! This is Oreo. She (he?) was given to us and I have no info on breed or anything like that. My friend hatched eggs someone gave her and then she gave us the 2 babies. Then we got a few more (just in case, right? Lol) but they’re e a little younger, 5 days, and still don’t seem to be developing quite as quickly as the “big kids” This is our first time raising chicks and I was hoping you all could tell me Ore might still turn out to be a girl. None of the other chicks have a big combs yet and the ones with combs have no pink or red in them. This baby is 3 weeks 1 day old in these pictures taken yesterday. What do you think? Is this indicative of a cockerel or is it normal for some to look like this?


*note, I know there will be more definitive signs as we get further into the wilds and months. Just want to see if this is typical. I’ll update the post with more pics as this chick grows

I was told that a cockerel legs will become thicker/bigger than a pullets. That's when I knew I had a rooster.
