This is a pullet right?

[Dean126]

Hi all I have a chicken that is just shy of 7 weeks old. It is an easter egger and I think she's a pullet but the red comb is throwing me off. Her brother who is definitely a rooster has a comb much bigger and a bit redder. But could she be a roo as well?

Agree, their combs should stay yellow until about 6-8 months of age when they lay; if they are a hen. All my 8 EE hens at 7 weeks have yellow combs

My EE pullet got pinked up at around that age. According to the back-end, I’m saying pullet

You can't sex by saddles or tail at this age.

If you get a clear enough pic, the saddle & hackle feathers don't lie.
I've had some roos that had really red combs then start laying 3 months later. Comb color helps sometimes but I'm withholding sex prediction till I get a better pic of the pointies or rounds.

At 7 weeks, there are no saddles to sex by.

Agreed, that's a little boy.
