Help sexing 5 week old Wyandotte

[maxlevy]

Would anyone be able to hazard a guess in this five week old silver laced Wyandotte. I’m in the uk. Inititially from feather I thought it was a pullet but the comb has turned quite red early on. I’m in the UK
Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone. This was my leaning as well but im praying to the pulley gods. She abandoned the eggs on day 18 while I was at work so only this one survived. Totally gutted and needed a girl

I think it’s a pullet!

Looks like a pullet so far. Wyandottes take a bit longer than most chicken breeds to sex accurately. We usually recommend 6 weeks for sexing. For Wyandottes I recommend 8 weeks. Post updated pics at 8 weeks.

What is pointing male to you?

Wyandottes are notorious for being difficult to sex because the girls often pink-up early and bad lacing can mimic the males white shoulder patches.
