Needing the expert opinions on this one of mine. Bantam EE, five weeks old and I've been told cockerel but want to make sure before I do anything.

Still too young to be sure. The comb looks a bit big, but not definitively a cockerel, yet.

Thank you! Give him/her more time!

It's still a bit young to tell for sure. The comb looks a little pink in the last picture, but in the first picture it looks fairly pale, so it may just be flushed. Update us in another week or so.

The one up front is male.

I'm double checking on this one due to the comb looking like it does and the spots of colors coming in on it. I had thought pullet but now, I'm not so sure??





6 weeks old Bantam EE. Thanks again!!

Red, three row comb + red patches - Most likely a cockerel.

That's what I was thinking! I thought when he was younger that he would be!

This chick looks a lot like my little LB did!!!! Poor LB died a few weeks back. I miss her so much.
I think your chick is a cockerel.
