Any chance this is NOT a rooster?

This chick is the coolest one in the flock- so much personality! Any chance it is NOT a rooster? They are almost 5 weeks old.

He’s looking very rooster-y to me, but is it possible the comb and wattles could be a hen developing quicker than usual? Bottom picture is next to a female. Crossing my fingers for 2 girls!!

Um . . . If those chickens are only 5 weeks old, that’s a rooster.

My condolences but that is very much a little boy.At least he'll be handsome? I would watch the chick behind him in the fourth pic cause it kinda looks like a cockerel as well!

Definitely a roo but he's very pretty.

Really?? I hope not! That comb is much oranger and a little smaller. Here is a better picture.

They both look like cockerels to me too. Is this a breed or a mix?

They are Speckled Sussex

They're both cockerels.
That first one has got to be one of the most obvious cockerel for its age that I've ever seen.

BOTH?! Ughhhh....

Nope, no way it's not a boy. Looks like a fun little guy too!
