Partridge Cochin - 4 weeks old - pullet or cockerel?

[MadHens]

I posted this in another section and realized I should have posted this here, so I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules. Anyway, I have a partridge cochin that is 4 weeks old. I requested a female (from My Pet Chicken) but I know they don't guarantee 100% accuracy. It was supposed to be a white cochin but they gave me the wrong color. Now I'm wondering if they gave me the wrong sex too MPC has refunded me the cost of the chick for the color error, BTW, so I do appreciate that. Behavior-wise, this chick is the most skittish of all 6 of my chicks, but I have 5 different breeds and only one cochin, so I don't have anything similar to compare it to. What do you think? As you can see by the pictures, the feathering has been verrrrry slow.

hmmm.... Looks like it could be a boy because of the comb growth but I would wait a little longer. If the comb becomes flamming red then it is probably a boy. If it stays this color you hopefully have a girl!

Cockerel. That stance.. And the comb.. the slow feathering.. All indicators of it being a boy.

I know I'm SUPER late but I'm sure you know what it is now. I thought my partridge cochin may be a boy also, suppose to be a she. I was provided good info that determines Olive is a she. She will be 4 weeks old by the end of tomorrow. Her comb concerned me, but I doubt it will grow to the size of your's over night. Here is the link to the thread I posted about her, hope you find it helpful. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/804899/partridge-cochin-gender#post_11650740
