This is Ginger, a 5 week old BO. Settle a dispute, I say she's a girl despite the pink comb and wattles. My husband says cockerel. She has hen-like behavior/personality, in my opinion, and her body type is the same as the other girls (longer, fluffy tails, and bigger than the cockerels at least right now.)

For comparison, here is Bird Reynolds, a cockerel, also a 5 week old BO.

She is now almost 7 weeks old, the boys have found new homes. Do we still think she is a she? 😬 🤞(top picture in original post is her a few weeks ago)
Still acts the same, hen-like...nothing like the boys did....zero rooster-y posturing. But that comb and those wattles!! Can girls have those like that at this age?! Tail and body type is like the other girls but none of the others have a comb and wattles like this. Fast maturing? 😬
 
My sure signs are the development of hackle and saddle feathers. Usually precedes that first strangled crow.

Got to admit, that is a feminine face on that one.
