True Blue Whiting Pullet or Cockerel?

[metcarl]

This one is 5 weeks old. It’s hard to see from the picture but it’s a single comb, much smaller than the ones I’ve identified for sure as cockerels (different breeds though, but also with a single comb). I was concerned about the color indicating cockerel.

Looks like a pullet to me! Especially in the second picture the way the youngster is standing and tail-shape!

Oh dang! Rhodebar and I are usually aligned- this youngster is a tough one!

I think whiting true blues have apea comb rather than single. I vote cockarel with that amount of color.

It's not supposed to be. Whiting True Blues are supposed to have a pea comb.
Looking at the picture, I think the bird does have a pea comb.

Pea combs are usually smaller than single combs, so you should just go by color of comb, not size of comb, when trying to figure out sex.

I noticed that too! I was going off of comb color, but I totally get what you mean about stance!

I know nothing about True Blue Whitings but I think it is a pullet as well.

Looking at the chick again, it is a pea comb. It’s the flightiest chick of them all. I had all of the chicks outside to run around a bit and it took 3 of us a long time to catch this one. I’m thinking it’s a cockerel due to the color, but the stance is definitely off.
