Pullet, Roo, or Wait and See?

[Sara211]

My chicks are 4 weeks old (just a little shy in these pictures). I have 2 Easter Eggers, a Golden Comet, and an Australorp. The EEs are both the same size, but I noticed that Dumpling (pictured here) has a slightly larger comb than her EE sister, Nugget. Dumpling is definitely the bossiest of the 4 so that, coupled with the slightly larger comb, has me slightly worried (we can't keep roosters where I live). Purchased at TSC as pullets.

Is it too early to tell?

Wait and see - leaning cockerel.

Too early, comb is still yellow. You will likely know for sure in another week or two.

Thanks everyone. I'll report back in a couple of weeks and I'll take pics of the other chicks too to be extra thorough. I may or may not have already cried at the idea of giving up one of my babies!

Good news - Dumpling turned out to be a hen.
