Rhode Island White Male or Female

[giselaespitia]

I have a 4 week old Rhode Island White. She is supposed to be a female. Does anyone know if she indeed is a she?

How old? Comb is still pretty pale looks like a pullet to me.

4 weeks

Eeek, well I would change my prediction in that case

The comb is fairly pink for 4 weeks meaning s/he is most likely a cockerel. But s/he is also only 4 weeks, I’ll give her/him the benefit of the doubt and say s/he is still a bit to young to know for sure
Update when s/he is 6 weeks.

The size of the comb. It’s pale yet but that’s pretty good size for four weeks. I’d say post again in a couple of weeks. Maybe a side shot of the body next time as well including the tail.

Oh wait, haha I think she's just muddy. Either way she's not a true Rhode Island White, they have rose combs. Where was she from?
