What gender is this porcelain D'uccle?

I have a pair :) Female on left (she is 9 months & already laying) and Male on right (9 weeks old in photo.) They are beautiful birds!!

I picked up this one yesterday.. itll be 4 weeks old on Sunday.. so i thought the speck of pink wasn't as important as the comb development.. compared to other clearly male chicks (all same ages) with full on pinky red combs that were surprisingly developed. I made the mistake of not slowly integrating them today, so she went on the attack. Do you think that might indicate that i picked out yet another roo ?? 😂 you can see the federal chicken prison next to the coop. She was lonely at bedtime, so i held her til she was asleep

It looks like a hen to me, but some times it's just hard to tell.

Yea, i am leaning towards female for her and my 2 other favs. I noticed at the pet store, the obvious male D'Uccles (big combs) were smaller than what seemed to be the females. My Cinnamon has a pretty large comb, and is also pretty small. Ive resigned that he's a he. But i think the 6 week mark will make it more official for all of them.

The new chick, who we are calling mon petit floraison (my little blossom, just sounds so appropriate for a mille fleur d'uccle 😁) has turned out to be such a sweetie pie, after her first day of chaos and terror! She lays down and both silkies lay on top of her when it's time to sleep. Happy with my little flock.
