3 or 4 Weeks old? Need a better picture of the comb. Not sure it's a male

It’s almost 4. The comb is pretty small but there I’ll try to get a pic. I’m thinking late bloomer cockerel like my cochin or perhaps a pullet.

If it is a Welsummer, it would be really obvious now if it was a rooster. The legs are pretty good size but I don't see any other indications of cockerel.

When it was a baby it looked just like a cockerel Welsummer chick. Perhaps the fact that it is being raised with meat birds who are larger it may be throwing me off. I’ll get a pic

I don't see any red in the comb but it's early. Those legs sure look like a male. It just seemed like my Welsummer males had some color in the combs by 4 weeks. I think we will have to wait another week.
p.s. by the way they make wonderful easy going roosters if that's what it is.

Thank you! I’m pretty doggone sure he’s a cockerel with the feathering and markings from hatch. I plan on giving him away if he’s a cockerel as our coop would just be too small for him. But going to hopefully exhibit him or her at county fair.

Little Welsummer turned out to be apullet and she went to a family to live. Love getting mystery chicks

Chipmunk stripped? Sounds like a Azure Blue (lays blue eggs) very healthy. Keep us posted please!

I’m pretty sure it’s not a RR it was the mystery chick that came with my rangers. The others don’t look like him at all. They’re red/buff colored and He’s got golden on the feather and looks chip mink striped.
