Welsummer 3-4 week old pullet or cockerel?

[nellyblue]

Hi folks
Best guess on whether this will turn out to be a pullet or cockerel? I chose this chick as a day old for the strong V on the head and eyeliner and back pattern but she/he is looking more masculine than I thought at this age!
Curious and impatient so let me know what you think!

Coloration looks female currently.

It’s a bit too young to tell for sure. Update in 2-4 more weeks.

Can you post pics of the feathers coming in on the chest? Males will get splotchy black/brown.

As a young chick the coloration says hen. But the comb is pretty large for a hen. I think you 'll have to be a little bit more patient to say for sure.

I agree, update us at 6 weeks. Feathering looks female right now but wait till it’s chest feathers grow in.

it is hard to tell but most likely a pullet.

I feel like in a matter of days he/she is looking more roo in stance and legs but feather pattern still looks female. So confusing!
