What do I have gender?

My SLW's comb began to turn red at about this age and I freaked out as well. She is now 17 weeks old and a beautiful young pullet. Her comb turned red but didn't do anything else. I would watch to see if your girl's comb begins to grow but she looks like a pullet to me.

It's a little early to look for pointed saddle and hackle feathers. They typically won't start developing until around 12 weeks.

Agreed, too early for pointed feathers, but at this point it looks like a pullet!

I understand being a bit gunshy at this point since you already found one cockerel!
