SLW single comb. Cockerel or pullet?

New to SLW and have an 11 week old chick. Any guesses on gender?

I would create your own thread to get more attention to your chick.

Pullet

Pullet

Thank you for the response! That’s what I thought but I’ve heard that they can be difficult to sex.

I don't think that I can help sex them -- I don't know when the sex-specific color patches are supposed to develop.

But where do you get single-combed SLWs? I'd love to have a couple because I love their color pattern but find that my SLW doesn't tolerate my hot climate very well compared to the others.

These came from Dunlap Hatchery! I purchased 4. Two of them are single comb, the other two will have rose combs.

Hey everyone! Me again!! They are 13 weeks now!! No crowing yet! But they’re combs and waddles are very much red! This is the main one I had questioned. Are we leaning more towards hen? Or rooster now?

What do the saddles look like?

13 weeks as well but very white compared to the others!! Smaller comb and waddles compared to the first but still very red! Hen or rooster??

They’re very similar to the other chicken I posted after this one! But the tail is darker.
