Updated pictures of one I posted 2 weeks ago. It is an Easter Egger x Asian Black and 6 weeks old now. I will update again in 2 more weeks but wanna see what everyone else thinks it may be :)

What's the giveaway?
The comb and wattles starting to grow. A pullet would not have such a red comb at the age. Bearded breeds also dont get wattles typically, so the fact that his is already quite red is a giveaway. At 10 weeks, he will be a lot more apparent, but at 6 weeks, I would be surprised if he were a pullet.

Thank you! I thought maybe so after seeing how red they were but after all four of the hens that could've potentially layed the egg he came from kept me confused until it was time for them to start laying I was really second guessing myself 😅
