This EE mix chick was the first of 10 to feather out in her wings and tail so I thought for sure it was a girl. the comb is a pea comb.

5 to 6 weeks now

What do you think?? Thank you for your help!

Your suspicions are correct; you have a cockerel. A pullet's comb and wattles shouldn't be that red at this age.

Rooster

I think you're right and it's a roo.

But I'm new so...?

Darn that makes at least 4 of this batch

 

[fluffychickens]

How about you name him Mark.

That looks more like a production red with a pea comb then EE. My RIR comb turned red at 5 weeks of age and she's a pullet. I'd wait and see if this one crows. What a pretty bird.

Thanks, I think I've decided all the really beautiful chicks must be roos! but, I wouldn't base it on comb color alone lots of pullets get red combs early and this one is not that red but I think it looks more like a roo shaped pea comb. Don't you think??

Three rows of "peas", and looks at those tree trunk legs. Cockeral.
