Is Primrose (5 week old silver laced wyandotte) a rooster?

[PDX_chickie_baby]

Primrose (5 week old silver laced wyandotte) is a sweet hen (fingers crossed). Her comb and waddles are coming in a bit redder than our other chicks combs and waddles, though none of them are the same breed. Is she actually a rooster?

(Please excuse the messy basement and my chicken-cleaning-outfit.)

I’m no expert, but nothing screams cockerel to me.

I'd definitely say rooster!

Just by the color of the comb/waddles or are you noticing other details pointing to rooster?

Thanks! I tried to get a better photo of that area. I think the feathers with white are wing feathers—should those be more round on a hen? The saddle feathers are black and they don’t look either round or pointed yet, but I’ll keep an eye on those!

Too early for male specific feathering - perhaps a cockerel.

Nope. No saddles. And what is a “cocky face”?

I thought they were saddle feathers.

A cocky face is where a chicken looks cocky and cocky is when it looks all full of himself.
