Anyone have pics of a 4 week old GLW?

Anyone have a pic of a GLW around 4 weeks old? I'd like to compare mine with it. I think it's a cockerel.

Well, here's mine. I know so far the consensus is that it's a boy. Just hoping it's wrong.

I can't find a pic of mine at that age. She's 8 weeks now and her comb is nowhere near that red. I'm sorry!

 

[mrbstephens]

oh, well. I think I found someone to take him anyway.

This is my hatchery GLW at just over 4 weeks... In every shot I could find she had very little comb development and NO reddish color...
But I think you already had your answer anyhow...

She has much more feathering and a bigger tail too. Oh well, thanks for sharing your pic of your lovely little lady.

Actually, the wattles don't look super developed on your bird. You often do see some pink in the comb of female chicks, too. The big difference I've noticed is the wattle development. For example, here's a cockeral:

And here are two more, pullet on the left (with some pink in her comb) and a cockeral on the right:

The bird hiding in the back is also a cockeral - you can see the red wattle!

I'd probably keep the bird for a few more weeks to be sure.
