Quote: So right around 6 wks... Acorn's comb is very pink, so cockerel for him. I would expect Adele's comb to get pink/red also in the next two weeks. If it stays pale, post an update. The white patchy coloring is male, but they change a lot at this age, so hard to be 100% certain.

Agreed.

This is the one and only one I'm thinking is female. Consistent feather pattern, no much tail to speak of. Does have a little pinkish blush to her comb but it is much narrower then the rest.

One more view of Zelda.

Yes, no cockerel signs on this one. Hopefully she will stay that way.

That's a mighty big pink comb for 6 weeks, even for a single comb. That's got to be a cockerel.

Is the comb always that pink, or is it only like that when it's stressed? Keep an eye out for 'rooster' red on the shoulders.

Normally a uniform peach color - did not appreciate being picked up!

Probably a pullet then, since it's just the skin under the comb that's pink, and the coloring is decidedly female.
