Rhode Island Red @5 weeks

[AATH]

Is this normal comb growth for a 5 week old RIR pullet? Oooor do I have a roo on my hands? Temperament is very skiddish and is the lowest dominate one of the group.

That's quite a bit of comb. I'll be curious to see what the others say. I'm leaning Roo, but hope I'm wrong.

I think pullet due to apparent lack of development in the waddles and I don't see much pink in the comb, but I'm not super confident either. It should become clear one way or another in the next couple of weeks! Let us know what it ends up being if you get the chance

I will definitely post updates. The attitude makes me lean towards pullet but I'm not sure attitude makes a difference this young

Pullet. The comb and wattles would be much bigger and more reddened, along with a reddened face.
