Speckled Sussex. About 10 weeks, tell me it’s not a roo

I think pullet too.

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like
Coca Cola
C-O-L-A Cola

Ask her to dance in another two weeks and see if her name is Lola L-O-LA- Lola.
Her comb and wattles are not large or red but Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
Except for Lola.

Darn, now I have that melody in my head, probably all day too..

Hello all, as the title says, I’ve got almost a 10 week old Speckled Sussex. The tail is a bit too pointy for comfort, but the comb isn’t really red. We’ve had “accidental” roo’s before and at 10 weeks their combs were pretty red and bigger. Please tell me what you think it is.

It looks like a pullet with the exception of the speckling. I've never seen one that speckled out only on the chest like that. Very odd.

I'm thinking pullet, but I haven't had Speckled Sussex so I'm not an expert.

I'm on the fence with this one.
Could you post more pictures in a few weeks?

Update time!! Almost 3 weeks since I took those photos. She (I will firmly believe it’s a she until it crows! Lol!) unfortunately got coccidiosis shortly after this post so i’m wondering if that halted her growth progress because I feel like she looks EXACTLY the same lol. Still no prominent comb/wattle

I still think pullet. My Legbar pullet was redder at 9 weeks.

Probably not pure bred and I think this is a cockerell. Because of the pointy feathers. The comb is apparently pink and less developed for health reasons.

I'd say its a 50 /50 could be either. But I'm leaning towards a hen. Should start crowing soon if it is a rooster.

Just a pullet!
