If no wattle or comb in EE by week 5, is it a girl?

[Curious1234]

One suspicious chick has no wattle....comb is pretty insignificant as well... but we got it from a straight run and it could be a boy.... It has white feathers on the body, black and white feathers on wings, and reddish feathers down the back area. Is the absence of a wattle a good indicator that this is a girl?

If it's pea combed, those rarely have any wattles to speak of, even when mature. You'd have to post a picture of it or we can't be of any help on this one.

Pretty bird! That is most likely a boy. The comb is small because of the type it is: Pea Comb. It should be low and close to the head.

I'm saying cockerel. He already has red in the comb and lots of red in the body plumage.

Looks like a boy to me.

No comb but this color yes.
He? used to be the cutest thing ever!

The barring reminds me of my EE pullets. My EE cockerel didn't have nearly as much barring. And I think his comb was pinker by then. My pullets had a wide, flat area. I love my EEs....enjoy yours! It's gorgeous!
