Another ‘what gender is this?’ thread

[whydidigetchickens]

I’d like to know before a crow what the gender is for this 5 week ameraucana/ee mix. It’s always had a ‘ruler of the roost’ attitude and bigger feet. It feathered at the same time as it’s sibling. But it has me stumped because along with a faster developed comb and wattle, it has a rounded henlike body. I’ve put up pictures of the siblings (same dad) when they were about 3 days old and one of them together now for comparison with each other (with the brown one in question being in the background, sporting its red comb). What do you think? Any leads?

That's an awful lotta red for 5 weeks. I'm leaning cockerel, but I'm not super good at this

Here is ‘Blackbeard’ a little later! Thank you everyone. Still no crow but he had his saddle feathers coming in and I was able to find him a home before getting in trouble with the neighborhood thanks to you!
