Roo or Pullet.......Survey Says?

[Robert G]

About to turn 6 weeks old, and thought at first it was going to be a pullet, but compared to his siblings, his comb is growing and started to develop oil slick looking feathers. However, I just wanted to know what everyone else thought. Thanks!

Can you get a closer photo of your chickens comb and wattle development?? To me it could still be a pullet. Also are the feathers rounded or more triangular?? Rounded feathers are usually pullets and triangular are usually Roos but not with every breed. They look more rounded but this is not always very accurate at telling whether it is a female or male.

Here's another view.

I think there is a chance it will be a pullet. Hold tight though because they may change. You will probably be sure at 10 weeks.

At 6 weeks... that’s a cockerel/male.

Thanks for your replies everyone. I will post more pictures as he grows. Always like to show what they look like when they mature. He still follows his mom, but can't fly onto the roost at night. So before it gets dark, I walk out to the coop and he runs to me because he knows I'm going to put him on the roost with his mom.
