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!

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.
