Any other guesses? Pullet or cockerel?

I wasn't guessing. This isn't a difficult pullet to identify as female.

Thank you very much!! I was just nervous, because my other 3 don't have a comb near this large or red and they are the same age.

It's a rose comb. If the rest have pea combs, that probably looks weird to you. And the bright color it has says she's either laying or near to.

I got my 1st egg yesterday and have a flock of 10 at 18 weeks!! Think it was her?

Could be.

I should have said that she may have a "cushion" comb (rose and pea comb are co-dominant and make some weird looks together).

100% pullet. Enjoy your eggs!

This is Drew Barrymore Chicken. She was sold to me as an Ameraucana pullet, but from reading the BYC forums it looks like she's an Easter Egger. I'm brand new at chickens--can some one help me tell if she's a she or a he? She loves to be handled and her cheeks are darker than they look in the pictures. She's 5 weeks old tomorrow. Thank you!

It's still a little young, but there's nothing screaming rooster here yet.
