Very Red Chick Comb

[The Welch Chickens]

One of our Gold Laced Wyandottes has an unusually red comb; is this normal, or is it a cockerel? It is five weeks old. It is behaving normally for a five week old (sorting out it’s place in the pecking order)

Very likely a cockerel

My pullet for comparison at 5 weeks. 7 weeks now and pretty sure it’s a pullet.

Looks like that to me too.

Well, thank you all for your help! I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

What we don't have to wait and see is what an absolutely beautiful bird that is!
