7 week old Sultan chick

[LorahS]

Hello everyone!
It’s been a few weeks since I posted last. I was hoping for some people’s thoughts in my 7 week old Sultan. I still think it’s presenting male, hoping I’m wrong. What do you guys think? Still too early?

I’m guessing male. We can’t go off of hackle or saddle feathers since they start to show up at around 11 weeks old. What we are working with is the comb and wattles and what little is there looks pretty red so I think it’s cockerel but I’m not sure.

Thanks for your thoughts. I’ll post again around 10-11 weeks
