4 week comb

[JoJoM]

Hi! I know it’s too early to be certain, but this chick’s comb is much larger and redder than any of the others. They are around 4 a 4.5 weeks old and are a barnyard mix. Can you tell gender by the comb at this young age? I’ve included some pics of a few of the others for comparison. Pineapple is the gold one with the giant comb
If anyone has any guesses to breed/cross that’d be fun! I know they have australorps, orpingtons and Cochins for sure, not sure what else.

With a comb that early I'd guess cockerel :'(

Since they are mixes, it is hard to compare. That comb is quite large for a 4 week old, but I’ve seen some that color up early. I would definitely be thinking it might be a male. Wait a bit longer to be sure.

That’s definitely my guess. He’s such a sweetheart, I hope he stays that way. I’m lucky enough to be able to keep one or two Roos around, hopefully I don’t end up with too many.
