Blue Bantam Cochin 7 weeks old - pullet or cockerel?

[beccawchick]

Is this a little boy or girl? 7 weeks old. Blue bantam Cochin.

To me it looks like a flushed pullet. I have black and buff bantam Cochins the same age and the cockerels combs are much bigger.

Pullet

I agree that by 7 weeks, roosters usually have much larger combs.

I'd watch it. I think it probably is a pullet, but it is possible that it could be a slower developing rooster, although bantam Cochins usually telecast pretty obviously by 7 to 8 weeks. However, some mature more clearly by 3 months.
