Is my bantam....a cockerel?

[cluckmecoop7]

I bought 5 straight run bantams from TSC, and now I'm thinking that one of them is a little cockerel. Would any of you care to help me out?

He is about 4 or 5 weeks old. (I think?)
He is a BB Red.

Please look closely at his flock mates comb's. She are so pale and small compared to his bright red wattle and pink comb. Thanks in advance!

( @Lacy Duckwing you wanted to be tagged. )

Coloring and comb indicate the he is likely a BBROE cockerel.

I think it is a cockerel. That is a lot of comb development for that age.

Sorry, I'm new with bantams. What is a BBROE?

Edit: Wait, isn't that a Black Brested Red Old English?

Thanks *sigh* I was hoping I wouldn't get any cockerels....

That's a cockerel.
Clean his toe nails and keep your brooder cleaner. Leaving that build up can kill the end of his toes.

It’s definitely 100%. I do admit you bought strait run you shouldn’t be overly surprised that you got a cockerel or two (not that I can see a second one). He is very handsome, and once you clean up their brooder and his toes he will also be very healthy
