Chocolate Orp gender?

[Sefirothe]

Chick is 6 weeks old today. Too soon to tell?

The flush of pink in the comb and wattles is making me nervous.

Usually by 6 weeks Orpington cockerel have bright red combs and wattles, so I think yours is a pullet.

Female. Lovely bird, never been able to find chocolates. See the tail? It isn't curving up and she has a narrow head and body. If you get a photo of the top of the head I can answer more confidently. 89% chance it's a girl I'd say

Not the best pics, hard to wrangle a chick yourself and take pics at the same time.

She's the pinkest out of this batch of 10 chicks of all different breeds. Everyone else is staying nice and yellow. And I had it in my head that orps were slow to mature, she was definitely slower than the others to feather out as a younger chick!

Thank you. I still say girl, but I could be wrong but I have goodinstincts for this kind of thing. Narrow head I can see from the last photo. Small-ish comb. My 8 week old black looks just like this, she just finished feathering, same as my 8 week old blue. Girl, orps usually stay pale tho so could be boy but I can't see the wattles, I'll send a pic of a female orp of mine and a male around the same age so you can see the difference. She has a lovely orpington frame by the way
