9 Week Old Green Queen Bantam - Hen or Roo?

[gardenrue7]

Checking back in at 9 weeks with our Green Queen Bantam. We’ve never had a frizzle or a bantam before, so I’m not sure what to look for characteristic wise.

All I’ve noticed is that her comb is redder than the others at the same age, but it’s still small. I jokingly call her Uncle Fester, and I’m hoping I didn’t jinx it since we can’t have roosters!

My hunch is that it is a cockerel. I'm not 100% on that, though.

That’s my fear with how red the comb is already, but I’m trying to hold out hope with the fact that it’s still very small. I don’t know what characteristics to look at with a frizzle chicken!

The red could mean cockerel, but it's not big, especially at nine weeks!
