Speedy the chick - five and a half weeks on

[GlenChick]

The helpful people here at Backyard Chickens pretty much nailed Speedy as being an Australorp/Wyandotte hybrid. However I'm still not sure if we have a cockrel or a pullet. Speedy is going through its first moult at the moment so it's look a little bedraggled at the moment - but its in fine form chasing and digging up insects from the grass around the outside of the run and coop.
Still might be too early to tell gender - but I'm tending towards pullet due to the tiny comb. (p.s. It's tail goes quite erect when it's very excited about finding insects).

Really hate to say it, but to me that's a big rose comb for 5 week old. It has a vaguely masculine look about it overall.. If you asked me to pick a gender right now, I'd say male. but no harm in waiting for several more weeks.

I agree with Kev. I'm leaning toward a cockerel with Speedy.

I'm going to guess pullet. The comb may be wide, but it doesn't look that red.

I'm leaning towards cockerel, but I'm not sure.
