He or she? A bit early at 6.5 weeks

[junior67]

This baby is from my blue Cochin roo and rust and white EE. 6 weeks 4 days. Still a tiny comb but starting to be a bit pink ... Any guesses on he or she??

Too early to say for sure. I'd lean pullet.

I knew early still but some are easier to tell or have an idea early so figured I would get some educated guesses now.

I'm slightly inclined to pullet.

Hey me too!!!!!!!! I was leaning towards pullet then the pink started and I was like OH NO is it a cockerel! I would be so sad as I LOVE the coloring and don't have enough space for another roo/Cockerel!!!!!!

I so hope and pray everyone is right on their educated early guesses! I know its dad at this age had a HUGE RED comb but he was also a Cochin. My EE that turned out to be a roo didn't really show it till older so wasn't sure how a mix would be.

Lets hope its a female! In a little bit you will be able to tell.
