BLRW 5 week old... pullet or roo??

[Meggsalad]

We have our first flock of six chicks this year (all different types) and this BLRW has developed so differently than the BOrpington and Barred Rock of the same age. Smaller, much slower to feather (still very little in the way of a tail!). Worried she might be a he on account of the comb shape/pinkness at 5 weeks. What’s your guess?
Also it appears she/he is black not very blue? :/

So far it looks like a pullet, but it is a bit early to tell. Do you have any current pictures?

Thanks for your reply! This is today at almost 9 weeks. Pretty big waddle but only compared to my other breeds so I have no idea. She/he acts like a mother hen!

I should clarify—in that second picture there’s another bird behind her that makes it look as if she has a big tail. In fact she has almost no tail feathers at all!

Now I'm leaning more towards cockerel, but I'm not 100% sure. Hopefully someone with more experience will reply.
