6 week old jap bantam

[FattyChickens]

Hi, so this is cuddles. I had him sexed on here when he was 4 weeks and 5 weeks, everyone said he looked like a pullet but now that he's at 6 weeks, his comb is bigger and redder than the other jap bantam chick i bought. im pretty sure hes a cockerel. i need asap replies because i'll need to find him a new home if he is one, due to my small coop space

I don't see anything that screams cockerel

My japanese bantam that was first to grow an noticeable comb was a hen. I was so sure she was going to be a cockerel. IMO, if it's red. Or if the wattles start to get very red early, that's a sure sign it's a cockerel. The fella in my picture is a japanese bantam and he started crowing when he was 4 weeks old.

The comb looks like red is coming in, not all of the way yet though

I would call that comb pink rather than red. I understand the concern, I've had the same worries before.
