May I please know how you know so that I will be able to know next time?
At this age, I usually guess based on their comb. If their comb is turning pink/red, it's usually a cockerel. Pullets don't start to get pink combs until right before they start to lay. Bigger combs and wattles usually indicate a cockerel and vice versa. There can be a lot of tricky ones at this age, but with how small and yellow her comb is, she's definitely looking like a pullet.

Is it possible my 4 week chick with a pinkish red comb could still be a pullet? I heard sometimes even this young they could still be a pullet
