Ok fluffy butt friends, I need some opinions. Squirrel and her brother turned 5 weeks old. Until today I was fairly confident Squirrel was a pullet. Now, I'm not so sure. Her coloring seems girlish, but....her comb. Being a Marans x Orpington mix I fully expect a large comb but is that too much for a 5 week old? Like expected her brother being a full Marans let the world know he was a boy at 2 1/2 weeks when his wattles popped, but this is my first time with Marans mixes. Here are some pictures I just took. What do you all think, is Squirrel a boy or girl?

I am not good at random photo sexing. I will leave this to others.

Partridge color leaves me to believe hen. But the comb is a bit red and the legs very thick. Inconclusive, but look out for obvious rooster feathering.
