Is this a Pullet or Cockerel?

[RMo2]

Hello! I would love to hear what you all think! This is "Ethel". I have noticed her comb is turning pink, but she has fewer feathers than the rest of the chicks. I have included a photo of her comb and an overall photo. Thanks in advance for your help!

Not sure but Ethel might need to be called Ethan

That is more than likely a roo, larger comb/slow feather growth/upright stance all scream cockeral.

That's looking like a cockerel, look at his wattles already starting to come in at 3 weeks.

Thank you everyone! I was thinking she was a HE-- and now I am sure of it! I appreciate the help!

Yup yup, that is a manly little man. Whenever you have a chick that stands up like a Tyrannasaur like that, it's a cockerel. This behavior later develops into sky-watching, which is a key element in flock safety. It's the roo's job to sound the alarm if he sees a hawk.

Just thought I would post an updated photo--- I am convinced that this is my cockerel! His waddles and comb are twice as red now just 6 days later!!!

You've got to keep him, he has "attitude".
