Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

About 5.5 weeks.

Probably a cockerel.

I realize 3 weeks is early, but this is our barred rock who (of course) has become my favorite. Will pullets make a warning call and seem watchful of others? This is the behavior that made me wonder if it's a roo, he/she makes a kind of trill sound and then the other 3 get down close to the ground and he/she looks around and none of the others move until he/she does. They're being brooded inside, so no actual danger, just loud bass from cars outside or the shadow of the ceiling fan. I'll definitely post in the coming weeks, but any early thoughts are appreciated.
Edit to get pic without photobombing flockmate.

This is a heritage rhode island red. I'm afraid I have a cockerel. It's supposed to be a pullet. Opinions?

Dark, female barring.

My son's heart will break if we have to give his baby away!

Thank you! That's what I thought from all my reading here, the protectiveness of the flock had me worried.

Hi everyone! I am brand new here and just wondered if anyone could help me sex my two SLW 7-week old chicks? I believe they are both cockerels however the rose comb is throwing me off a bit. Thanks so much in advance
