4 week Golden Laced Wyandotte Pullet or Roo?

Okay, so now I'm getting a little worried. She has red wattles!
Here is a pic of her wattles at 5 weeks.

Still hard to tell! These guys are tough to figure out!

I think you have to look at more than just the face...does this chick walk more upright than the others? Is it more assertive or aggressive than the others? Other things to watch for are the feathers on the saddle more pointy or round?

Mine are still confusing too and they are nine weeks now!
 
I'm looking at pics of my one and only GLW as she grew. I took a lot of her because I couldn't figure her out. She had very long legs, and a very upright posture. She was wide-chested, and for a while I decided she must be a dark cornish. She's turned into a gorgeous, beautiful-egg-laying girl, and I think she's one of my prettiest.

On looking through my photos, she had absolutely no wattles at 5 weeks, like yours does. But don't give up hope yet. I was sure mine was a male until she was about 10 or 12 weeks old.

This is 4 weeks old:

Here's her comb at 4 weeks:
