Still wondering about this EE...need expert advice

I thought I was pretty good at sexing everyone elses birds, but I can't even guess my own!

This easter egger is about 5 weeks old now and really worrying me. Supposed to be a pullet, and it has pullet coloring, but looks a little patchy in some areas to me. The comb is also worrying me, some days it will be a very light shade of pink and others very red. Seems like the more active she is the redder it gets, I guess blood flow. Its pretty red in these pictures. Anyone have any ideas??? It really has me puzzled.

I think it's a bit early to tell with that bird. The redness in the comb would bother me, think of roo, but I'd have to see it compared to the siblings.

Keep an eye on those neck feathers, usually a female will always have rounded as where a male ends up having pointier neck feathers.

looking now at the hackles they look pullet but its too early as the redness in comb worries me and would have to vote Roo

I guess I'll just have to wait a few more weeks and see how she changes. Its so hard to wait though! lol. Hope she ends up being a pullet.
