Sexing help on barred rock chick

[Angelique25]

Hi, my barred rock chicks are about 4 1/2 weeks old. This one is smaller than the other but seems to be getting a comb and wattles early. She is also much lighter than my other chick. Hoping it's a hen, she does not express any dominant behavior and actually tries to cuddle under the larger chick. Thoughts?

They are autosexing which means that on day one you can tell after day one you can’t. I think it’s a cockerel. Welcome to byc

Welcome to BYC! It does look like a little cockerel.

Ps if it hatched later than the larger chick it may think the lager chick is it’s mother
