Red beak/face area

Time will tell, I hope I'm wrong and Tulip is a pullet.

Tulip is always excited then

Best picture I have of a pullet red/pink in the face is a FBCMs at 4½ weeks.

At 5 weeks old I wouldn't expect to see much development on comb and wattles. @Flowerladies - is the redness there all the time or does it come and go?

Any idea what is going on if not gender confusion?

Here's another thread with question about red in face, it's nothing to be concerned about.

Anyone want to place new bets? There were all born aug 13th. I’ve looked at chicken feathers and it’s like seeing a baby in an ultrasound, I don’t see it. Tulip has developed a red face before the others.
Picture 1 are the other two chickens.
Pic 2/3 is “tulip”.

I don't know. With the more red face, I'm still leaning toward cockerel but I often get my guesses wrong. They're all really pretty though!

I love your answer while also accounting for my desperation! lol

Just thought I’d update. My Tulip was a hen! Thinking it was a rooster I found him a home. I cried as my husband and daughter took him there. An hour later they said “she thinks it’s a hen!”
All three are gorgeous and laying eggs everyday

In case anyone finds this thread later… update
