Gender Guess- 3 week light sussex has me stumped

[Jayteetee]

This is Chickaletta. Chickaletta has been observed chest bumping a few times & is getting pecked by other chicks (has been separated to prevent injury).
He is 22 days hatched in these photos. What sex do you think Chickaletta is?

Looks like a pullet to me. At three weeks I would expect more redness if she were a cockerel. That's not to say she couldn't be a he, it's still a bit early to tell. Females will also chest bump to establish dominance though so the behavior you've observed isn't really an indicator of gender.

Looks like a pullet now, but it's still a little early.

I would absolutely love if it was a pullet. It’s getting so much extra attention because it’s semi isolated from the rest because they’re picking on it. It’s the odd one out comparatively, its slow to feather out

Here is Chickaletta at 26 days.

Comb is starting to turn more pink now.. and it’s starting to look scruffy. I’m thinking this is a cockerel. Let me know your thoughts

Its wings are quite short & its tail is slow to feather! Is that indicative of gender?

I think at 4 weeks it is too early to tell unless you are extremely familiar with that particular breed. another 3-4 weeks and you should be able to see some definite signs of gender.

No, unless they were specifically bred for it.
