New to chickens! Sapphire Gem- Hen or Roo?

[Akatf]

@Akatf Where did you purchase this chick?

Also, welcome to BYC!

Thank you so much!! Everyone has been so helpful here and so informative! We got this chick from a local farm near us and purchased as a Sapphire Gem! The lady we purchased from said she was pretty good at sexing them- and would try her best for all females! But we have been stumped on this one!

My Lola looked like this about 6 weeks old:

was not sure she wasn't a cockerel at that point bc of the tiny comb

I've come to learn that giant combs that are very red and pink are absolutely cockerels

these medium pinky-kinda-not combs are a toss up and you cannot be sure.

Lola as adult:

Sapphire Gems have a black neck
