Sexing rosecomb bantam?

[Keeperofmunchkins]

I have a couple of little rosecomb bantams that are now almost four weeks old. One of them has had a larger comb since hatch and is now looking a bit pink around the comb and wattles and seems suspiciously male. So does anyone with experience with rosecomb bantams or other breeds with rose combs have any insight? Any chance it could still be a girl?

I wouldn't commit to saying its a cockerel just yet myself.

Yes I'm so hoping it's a girl. The sort of lumpy black section at the front of the comb was like that at hatch with both the Rosecomb chicks, but the back part of the comb seems to be growing and getting pinker. Plus those wattles already peeking out have me worried. I've had other rose combed chick breeds before but these seem different - the other breeds never had the little bumpy bits at the front of the comb.

I'm thinking cockerel as well, due to the wattle development.

Hi!

The comb is small and makes him/her look like a pullet but, the fact that waddles developing at 4 weeks is nothing to take lightly. That is a big price of evidence showing that he is a cockerel.

He sure is a pretty one though!

Beautiful!

Yes that's what I was thinking. Wattles this young are a major cockerel warning sign.

I think there's still a chance it could be a pullet. Hope you can still keep it either way.
