. No worries as I'm a beginner and I appreciate help when I can get it.
Here's the welsummer pullet I swapped with the other chick. 6.5 weeks and it's comb is smaller than the other one at 4 weeks. Plus light chest feathers with no black.

Females are a more uniform shade, males develop darker patches through the shoulder/wing area and have darker hackle and saddle feathers.

Thanks :) any info I can get I am always happy to have! I'll be keeping an eye on them until I know. Either way it's a cute little birds, and sometimes friendly. A little less than our Rhode Island, welsummer, and our Leghorn.

Oh wow she's so pretty!!! One of mine looks almost exact snake color :) so glad. Is the tip of her head got that same light golden salmon too? Mine does and I think it's a welsummer. Ours has a tiny tiny tiny bit of black but no comb developement much, and not enough black to be a male. Just curious is the head is the same color.

Yes plus beautiful gold in her neck.
Wish I could have kept the rooster. They look beautiful when they are full grown.

One of our pullets look just like that in the chest and head. Ours does have some little white tips at the end of her wings, but I don't think it means she's not a welsummer as she looks so much like yours. That is so helpful!!! Thanks so much for the pick.
And yes welsummer roosters are very gorgeous roosters, and usually friendly to.
We had wished we ordered one instead of a blue Ameraucana sometimes but wanted the option to breed a color egg gene with our other hens.
 
Brahmas are painfully slow to develop. 6.5 weeks is much too young to be certain of gender.

Yes I know we can't be 100% but from doing a lot of research and seeing it with others of the same age the tail feathers are a pretty good tell.
