Please help with the gender of this 2 w/o Faverolles chick

[MrMeepy]

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here, so I hope I'm doing this right.
Meet Pipi, my 2 week old Faverolle chick. I've been trying to determine its gender, hoping for a female, but I feel like I'm getting mixed signals (or I'm high on "hopium"?).

From the face-shot, I'd say the comb is rather small, pointing to female...

Though I'm seeing some black in the leg-feathers, and at the base of the wing feathers, which could be male...

Then again, the tail feathers are rather developed... does that point to female, or not necessarily?

And a good shot of the legs, displaying the characteristic 5 toes, and the dark color at the base of the toe-feathers.

I honestly don't know anymore if Pipi's a he or she, but I'd like to know before he would start crowing ^^"
Can any of you help me out, or do I have to wait a little longer? What should I be looking out for specifically?
Thanks in advance!

Pullet. The wings would be much darker if it was a cockerel.

I agree! Pipi's an adorable little pullet

small update on Pipi:
She's now... 11ish weeks old!
I was not expecting this color... but it's pretty neat!
Point of concern, though; she has recently started exploring her voice. Part of this now is that she started crowing.

Is Pipi a little roo after all..? or is this just a phase?

That is a big color change. He's a cockerel.

Oh darn. Well, that's a bit sad news... but then I can start working on finding him a proper home. Can't keep roos in this area, sadly :/

Sorry to hear you can't keep him. He is beautiful though.

Cockerels will be very dark almost black looking.

this is a cockerel. Pullets don’t get this dark
