Title pretty much says it all. I've never raised a breed with crests before so this is very new to me!
I'm currently out of town but I get home by tomorrow so if you need closer pictures I can take them then.

Alright I'm finally home and got a picture! There isn't much comb to see, it's pretty small still and mostly covered by feathers, I tried moving the feathers so you can see but my chickie didn't like holding still that long!

I'm no expert on this breed but I think that 7 weeks is too early to be confident of the sex. Large waddles that are pinking up would point to a cockerel. A wild crest versus a more rounded crest would also point to a cockerel. Can't really tell from the angle of this pic if the comb is as pink as the waddles -- if yes, that would be another sign of a cockerel.
 
Yeah it's hard getting a proper picture, but so far the comb is fairly small and yellow, and the crest rounded. Thanks for giving me pointers on what to look out for! I'll give it more time then, and update once it becomes clearer!
