Mystery breed, rose comb - roo?

[pipin]

We ended up with some unexpected peeps in December. They're about six weeks old now.

The batch are a mix of colours - cuckoos, Columbian and these white ones. The cuckoos and Columbians have been easy to sex so far (yellow combs vs. red) but some of them have rose combs and it's much harder.

This one in particular. I'm going to go with cockerel based on the pink colouration but wanted to be sure. In the third image, our peep in question is in the background - the 'obvious rooster' is in the foreground (with his fun extra toes!).

Am right to think a tiny roo? Are rose combs harder to sex or is it still generally based on how red they are?

It's a cushion comb, white Wyandotte Cockerel!

Looks kind of Chantecleer to me, but yeah I'd say cockerel for sure.

Yay! I finally got a cockerel right on the first try! I'm leaning Wyandotte cross maybe. If the hen who raised them laid them (since there were so many), she's a Columbian Wyandotte so that could make sense

So cute they are
Growing up chicks are always so cute
Seems to me lil boys
With single comb

Can't be a Wyandotte if its a cushion comb.
