Silverudds Blue 5 weeks pullet or cockerel

[dvschkn]

I bought 2 straight run Silverudds Blue splash chicks (one is 5 weeks and one 3 weeks today). The younger one is for sure cockerel since his comb is coming in very pink for his age.

The 5 weeks one I’ve been watching and its comb is still peachy but it has some wattles coming in. From all the pictures I’ve seen of pullets they don’t have much in the way of wattles at this stage.

I attached pictures of the 5 week old chick, what do you think? Boy or girl?

I vote cockerel, but please update the thread when you've confirmed so that others can use this thread as a resource.

Thanks, and yes I want to go back and update once it becomes clear. I must have read dozens of threads where the OP doesn’t update so the answer was still unknown.

Sad about the prospect of not having any females for this breed but still keeping fingers crossed for now

Update: he was a cockerel! The comb pinked up a lot over the last week.
