Black crested white polish-I'm afraid Phyllis Diller might be a Phill

Hey there I have a 8 week old wcbp chick who has NO signs of comb or waddle red or otherwise but my cousin said could be a rooster? When does a roo start looking like one?

looks like pullet for the moment

Woohoo thank you, I'm hoping its a pullet

Looks like a pullet, as the crest is round, and the comb/wattles aren't developed. A rooster will develop rooster-type feathers by 12-14 weeks of age, and a redder comb earlier than that.

I'd say pullet. A rooster's crest would look a lot different.

Pullet. The face would be noticeably redder by now, and it's have apparent wattles.

Thank you! I'm hoping pullet but my cousin said the shape of the beak indicates rooster but there is absolutely no red anywhere

Here is a post on a thread that I posted some comparative pics of pullets and cockerels
