That's a cockerel...

Nope, not a rooster. That's a cockerel.

 

[Over_Easy47]

Okay can you tell me how you know?

 

[Frazzemrat1]

The large, reddish comb at 7 weeks old. A pullet wouldn't get a large comb or wattles, or the redness until they were around 17 weeks at the earliest.

Yeah the comb is huge and very pink for a pullet. Looks like a cockerel

 

[igorsMistress]

Looks like a cockerel to me too.

Above posters are correct. Comb growth and redness combined with age. Significant comb growth and redness prior to 8 weeks of age are almost always cockerels.

I agree, I believe you have a little cockerel
