Welsummer chick what is it and color?

[Lrkel]

I hatched some welsummers from two different breeders. One line is very dark brown with crisp darker lines and patterns. The other is more red-brown and all chicks are fuzzy lined and I can't tell the cockerels from the pullets. The known pullet from the first line has the same body and comb size as this one. What do you think about this one as far as sex and color? It's 4 wks old.

I am going to say cockerel because of the absence of the V on the head and the size of the comb. My two 9.5 week old pullets combs are not even that big yet.

If the rest of the breast feathers fill in that salmon color, it's a pullet. If you see any black feathers its' a cockerel.

Ah interesting, thank you.
