Got a 6w/o lavender with a swollen comb

[Aflanders]

Never have a owned a lavender chicken til now but she has a very swollen and bright red comb. I dont know if it is normal. Shes eating, drinking, and acting fine. I'll attach a pic of her and a few others together so you can see the difference. Thank you!

Can you retake the photo with the red heat lamp turned off....unfortunately it distorts what we need to see. Take a group shot (maybe a little closer) and a couple good ones of this bird close up
Most likely "she" is a he

A closer picture of the comb in question would help also. She may be a he, or there may be an injury, maybe from being pecked.

Are you sure of age? From what can be seen in the photo bird looks very underdeveloped for 6 wks

Agree these look like 2-3 weeks and they don't all look the same age even.

If its not too chilly take the chick out of the brooder for a photo in more natural light.

Here is 3 more photos. I couldnt get a good pic of all of them but I do know they are different ages. So this one should be about 6 weeks from what I was told. Thank you again for all your help.

You have a cockerel, that is the reason for the color and size of the comb

So it's ok right? Is it a female or possible Male? Was told it was a female.

 

[coach723]

It's male. Generally a cockerel is a immature male less than a year old. A pullet is a female less than a year old. After a year old they are rooster and hen. As @Ol Grey Mare said, the size and redness of the comb indicates male. He also has obvious red wattles already.
