Male or female chick? Comb showing day 6

[PlymouthRocky504]

Had 1 chick hatch when away and just wanted to know at day 6 now with the chicks comb showing as seen in pics if it’s a hen or rooster as hoping it’s a hen but wondering if at day 6 it’s normal for comb to show?

It is normal, they have them right when they hatch. It doesn’t determine gender until it gets big and red in about 4-8 weeks.
