I think it's too young to know for sure.

5 week old EE, I only had 2 and the other was a cockerel so he found a new home. Crossing my fingers this is a pullet! Let me know what you think. Thanks

It's too young to be sure yet, but I would have said pullet if it weren't for the last picture showing such a red comb. It also looks like the breast might be turning black, which would mean cockerel. But, the pattern across the wings is even and looks more like a pullet, so I am going to flip a coin!

Think you are going to have to wait a week or 2 more.

All of my pullets at 5 weeks combs got that red when being handled. Then they would peach back up when relaxed again.

Am I right to say that the first is a roo and the second is a pullet?
