The comb looks a little red, but not extremely. I’m leaning pullet, but feel free to update in a couple weeks.

Yeah some of them are starting to create mixes with other breeds so they won’t have the usual pea comb. Gets confusing lol

Perplexing still. That comb is quite red for 7 weeks but not particularly large and the feather color/pattern is even and not splotchy like a male would be. So idk lol

I see waddles already coming in, so there is a chance of cockerel, but it is good to wait a little while longer to be sure.
