Does my chick have a comb infection?

Oooo. At that age with that much red in the comb and wattles starting I’m gonna say male.

Well that's not good. Thanks, for the help though.

That’s part of the comb.

That’s part of the comb.

Ok, thanks!

Ok, thanks!

No problem!!!

And sadly, I agree that’s definitely a boy. That comb is very large and very red for that age. Usually it doesn’t get that red until much later.

Thanks for the information @Chickenlover1910!

1. The comb is fine, very normal.
2. Yes, that's a cockerel. (Young rooster.)
