5 week old Speckled Sussex Hen or Roo?

Too early to tell. Over the next several weeks, either the comb/wattles will redden and grow or they won't. Having a visible comb does not equal rooster.
 
can you please give me an update? I have one that has a big comb, but it is yellow. I am hoping...let me know what you think....Please I bought them
all as Pullets. This one has got an out-of-control comb, but feathering, foot size, and pelvic tip test all say hen. I am so worried.

these are the chicks at 6 weeks...the SS in the center is the suspected rooster.

This is a picture of the the chick at 5 weeks

 



This one turned out to be a Roo :( I have two that looked the same til about 12 weeks then this ones comb kept going and the others stopped. He is 4 months now and the green Rooster feathers have all come in.....but no crowing yet. Hope this helps.
