7 week Barred Rock—pullet or cockerel?

[MrsJerseyJets]

I feel like by this age we’d clearly know if our Barred Rock (my daughter named her Sweetie Pie) was a girl....but the pink at the base of her comb and pinkish on her wattles made me nervous! She’s 7 weeks now, and her tail only started coming in like 2 weeks ago which I also felt was late (and made me nervous as well lol). In general the pink on her face is not dark, and I’ve also heard it could turn pink because of heat (it was really hot here the past couple of weeks). Picture of her and last picture is of her face (blurry, I know so I apologize) so you can see the pink in her face. Thoughts as to girl or boy?

Pullet, BRs have big red combs early, if anything my pullets combs were redder.

Thank you! I've seen some say that their BRs didn't have red until they were ready to lay so this pink made me nervous especially in the wattles. And my husband keeps saying (he handles them a lot) that this one just feels muscular lol, and it was making him think rooster because of her strength LOL. I think she'll be one of the more dominant ones in our flock!

Lol, BRs have a lot if meat on their bones, they are duel purposes.

Ha we are definitely seeing that LOL!! She's definitely more solid than some of the other breeds we have! He really thinks she was going to be our surprise rooster lol.
