I think this one needs more time to tell. Post new photos in 2 or 3 weeks if you can.

I’m leaning pullet, because the red coloring is pretty spread out and even, and the comb is quite small. Definitely update soon though!

I went back and looked at photos of my older girls at this age and the comb is very similar on my female Easter egger. Also my RIR, Barred rock and leghorn were all way pinker/redder than this bird at the same age. Just waiting to see now!
