Gender of 6 week old BCM

[dmrussell]

I have this sweet French BCM who was so much smaller than the others and we were nursing her and discovered she is blind. She is now about six weeks old and her comb has suddenly changed somewhat. It isn't as big as others her age who were roosters for sure. But it's concerning me. I'm willing to keep a blind hen but not a blind roo. Thoughts?

When my BCM had black on their combs, they were usually pullets. Looks like a pullet to me but she needs to feather out a little more to really tell.

Thanks for your input! Fingers crossed. Here is another angle photo. S/he bobs her head around constantly so it was hard to get a good one.

And yes, she was on the picnic blanket in our backyard. She just sits with us where ever we are, it's really turned out to be a great thing for my kids.
