ISA Brown Cockerel?

[Dottie the Chicken]

What do you think this little one is? Supposed to be a sexed female, but that red comb... and bigger than his/her "siblings" combs...
This picture was taking last week, when he/she was between 6 and 7 weeks old.

It's a pullet. Cockerels are a different pattern "nearly solid white".

ISA browns are the same breed as red sexlinks. If this was a cockerel, you would already know, especially if you got it from a hatchery. Definitely pullet.

I think cockerel! I looked them up and there’s brown ones like the hens!

I'd like to respectfully disagree. These chicks are sexlinked, and cockerels have much more white.

Do you have full body pics of the bird?

This chick looks like a mini version of my red sexlink hens. Brown with some white feathers/white at the base of their feathers. ISA browns are sexlinked. If you ordered her from a hatchery, this is a she. If she was white as a chick, it's a he, but from what I see here I am positive that you have a pullet.

Oh okay! Thank you for correcting me! If you did well I wouldn’t know that and would believe what I said so thank you so much!

No problem! ISA browns can be a bit confusing, because they are also called golden comets, red stars, and a myriad of other names, but they are all the same breed and are all sex linked.

Cool! What I say is I learn something new every day!!
