Lavender Araucana Cockerel or Pullet?

[henmad]

Hello, We have a 3.5 week old Lavender Araucana chick. I'd like to know if it's a Cockerel or Pullet.
All four photo's are of the same chick.

Thanks for your help.

Might need a few more weeks to say for sure, but I'd guess cockerel. The comb is already looking pretty well developed, and while not red, it is pretty large for that age. It has more of a comb now than my 12 week old lavender araucana (both sadly tailed and cleanfaced too) pullets.

It's young to be sure, but my 'gut' says cockerel.

The photos are really bright on the bird, but I'd say cockerel from what I see, which isn't too well.

hdowden asked for a pic in another 3 weeks or so. It's another 4 1/2, so the Araucana is 8 weeks old.
I was really thinking roo, but as it grows, I'm less sure. What do you think now that it's a bit older?

Cheers Henmad

I think it looks a lot more like a pullet with the new pics

jeslewmazer- that would be great, i'll keep you posted.

Anyone else care to hazard a guess?

Anyone know anything about metaphysics?
Can I make this chick a pullet if I really really want it to be one?

The feathers definitely say "pullet" in the latest pics ... there is still that "don't start none, won't be none" cockerel look in the eye, though!

Your bird is SO lovely ... just gorgeous. Sending you pullet vibes!!
