This chicken is 7 weeks old. Large comb and wattles but they're still very pink. Her brother (100% sure he's a cockerel, he's crowing) has a similar sized comb but it's bright red. Pullet or cockerel?

Cockerel. Big comb and waddles, red patch on wings.

They just developed that red patch on the wings and it's what had me wondering. Shoot.

He's going to be handsome if you can keep him

I totally agree, unfortunately his brother has already won the right to stay. I'm not sure I have any hens from this hatch so maybe they will all stay and live together

I agree, cockerel.
