Do I have a cockerel or pullet EE?

[emcook]

This is a 5 week old EE from co-op. Would love to hear your thoughts on the sex. It has burnt orange feathers coming in and I’ve read that brighter colors means rooster, but I’m so new to this I’d love to hear what those more experienced think. Thank you!

With that much redness in the comb at such a young age I am going to guess cockeral. Have a great evening and God Bless!

Lotta comb there, Id say cockerel, but the feather pattern and coloring says pullet.

Yes the comb literally turned pink overnight and that’s what made me say, hmmmm? Thank you all for the feedback!
