Hi, looking for some advice please - do you think my Pekin Bantam 5 1/2 week old chick is a cockerel or pullet? Pics attached. All 4 of the chicks I have seem to be pullets but this one is confusing me. Thank you

Another pic from the side. Ignore the mess of the run - this was at the end of a rainy day after they had caused carnage 😂

I think pullet. Male pekins tend to show color in the combs early.
Hi there, sorry to post hop. I took some pics of my 4 week old pekin today. Could you predict for me? He is the most beautiful chick but seems to be challenging the larger polish chicks.

The comb is a little large for 4 weeks, but not enough to say that it's a cockerel for sure at this point. Give it 2 or 3 more weeks, and post again if things aren't clear by then. Hope you get the gender you want!
