Speckled Sussex Help - Ugggghhhh this darn chick.

[sunnycadreamer]

I know from research the Speckled Sussex seem to be harder to sex than others...this one has me for a loop. I bought 4 different breed pullets. This is my daughter's chick Confetti (she's already crying over possibly loosing her) She/He's 7 weeks old today (i'm pretty sure). Her comb and wattles have grown in the last week for sure. I took inside and outside photos because the color is distorted inside with my fish tank light near by. Shims comb has grown in the last week. Fingers crossed it's a she... what a pain if shims not.

Hmm....with a comb that large and pink at seven weeks old, it unfortunately appears to be a cockerel.
