Apologies if wrong thread! Male or female 5 week old Cochin Bantam

[Crabbylady]

Was told by a 30 year breeder on a chicken farm these are females. Does the redder comb mean a male? Don’t worry about the poop. That carrier in the coop is just another shady place and I’m about to clean it.

Color difference is meaningless? Ones comb color is so much more red.

All my hens had different shades of red combs. yours could be a Roo? I'm not convinced though!

I clearly need more coffee. Thanks Feathers!

What do the wattles look like on the one on the right in the photos where both are included? That's a lot of color for 5 weeks.

Breeder says she has 99% accuracy rate at sexing by this age and it’s a female. But someone put doubt in my mind in another group so I wanted to ask y’all.
