I’ve got this beautiful interesting chick here from a hatch in June 2018. It’s gray with red spots. The mother is definitely an olive egger and looks to have a gray Silkie father; however the red feathering make it possible to be my Mille d’fluer. It’s hard to see here but there is certainly three rows of in the peacomb so I suspect roo. Whatya think? Roo or pullet?

X2, those patches where wing bars will be and the thickness of the legs make me think cockerel. I think it's too early to say for sure, but I would agree with your suspicions. It is a beautiful chick for sure! Love the coloring!

Signs of red in the wing bar region are making me a little suspicious, to be honest. Although, comb/wattles are still quite teensy. Could you update us in another few weeks?

Agreed, definitely bears a striking resemblance to a pretty robin! :love
