Roo or hen?

[CrazyChicLadyLitheria]

Okay so I'm curious as to if this ameraucana (or possible EE) is a roo or hen. They are 5 weeks and 3 days the day these pictures were taken. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

First three pics are of the bird in question. The last two are of the same breed and age added for comparison.

The bird in question is DEFINITELY a cockerel.

It's a cockerel. You can tell by there being three rows on the pee comb forming earlier than the pullets. It also way more red than it should be for a hen at this age.

Handsome fella!

With the rust on the wings and the comb, that's definitely a cockerel. He won't be a rooster until he's a year old, btw.

I stand by my statement 100% that he's a boy. They are beautiful birds for sure!

Handsome EE cockerel, undoubtedly.

Here's more pictures that were taken today of Tiger. I'm seriously leaning towards cockerel with him. The last picture is of his "sister" (same age/breed).
