Pink comb and patchy dark red. Gonna look just like this guy when he's grown up.

Six week old cockerel or pullet?
I’m pretty sure I heard it pathetically crow today.

Oh, and Ridgerunner's method with the low posture birds being pullets is absolutely true! If they are terrified of you and crouch low to the ground and make a big squirming production of being picked up, they are more likely to be pullets.

I've seen many farms selling anything under 8 weeks as straight run (I bought some "straight run" birds at 5 weeks knowing they were all roosters but interested in them anyway), so that would be a way to go.

I also agree that the posture method has a good majority of reliability to it. Can you tell which of these chicks from my new hatch we have already expected is a roo? (The EE, hint)
