Is my 4 week old wellsummer a roo?

So we got chicks a few weeks ago that are all supposed to be pullets. We did get a couple wellsummers and both had the sharp V and eyeliner that girls generally have.

However it has developed a decently sized comb.

So I just wanted to see thought on if it's a roo or a hen?

I'm pretty sure that's a pullet! Males will get black chest feathers, and hers look like they're coming in brown.

It's probably a cockerel, but give it another week or two to be sure. Males will grow black breast feathers, while females will have salmony breast feathers. Right now I'm not seeing either, but they will come.

That comb! Oh my. I'd be a little worried.

It's quite soon to tell - but I am thinking cockerel.

Update it looks like the chest feathers are coming in red which is a good sign! So I may just have a girly with a huge comb

Actually...it looks like they have black on them, which means it's a cockerel. Sure looks like it with the comb too.
