Buff Orpington pullet or cockerel!?

[Crazy_chicken_gal]

This is my almost 5 week old buff Orpington (4 weeks 4 days). I was content thinking she was a pullet until I noticed her comb starting to slightly turn light pink. Is this coloring normal? It is not as bright as my other chick that is a suspected roo. Are your thoughts pullet or cockerel on this chick? Thanks!!

It's a bit young yet, give it another week or two. It isn't a buff Orpington. It's either a Rhode island red, or other red production type.

I think it’s a pullet but not a BO I think it’s a RIR.

Pro. Reds are lighter in color, but many sell them as the same thing.
