Wyandotte chick, hen or roo?

[Kattzombiee]

Hi all I have this chick that is truly throwing me. They were hatched out approximately May 21st, and came from a breeding pen that had Red Laced Blue Wyandottes and a Black Laced red wyandotte in it. I figured big red face is a boy, but I know wyandotte patterns aren't usually as showy on boys. Maybe it's the age still though. Anyone wanna throw out their opinion on it too? I've done a thorough look over and do NOT see pointy saddle feathers, as much as a few frayed ones kind of look to be in photos. It is no larger than any of the same aged chicks I have, and does not act any more roostery like other boys I've had at this age. Infact my husband swears when it sits it has "hen hips" whatever that means

This would make me so happy I only got one of this breed and it's my first!

I'm thinking cockerel. It's these feathers that are making me wonder.

They're darker red, which is a sign of a cockerel.

Interesting observation. I will definitely keep my guard up a little longer then - haha. It does not have the same attitude as a clear roo OE I have of the same age. But time will tell

I, too, think it is a cockerel just starting to show male specific feathering.

I'm leaning cockerel just because I have a BLR wyandotte pullet about a month older and she isn't nearly as red in the comb/wattles

I think cockerel, but it’s hard to say.

I’m going cockerel I have a golden laced Wyandotte rooster that I adopted but my cousin has a Pullet and it’s 4 months old and has a smaller comb

Thanks all, they're here to stay for a little longer either way, so I guess only time will tell. I will be so sad if it's a boy, but it's been a rough year of all the roo's for us anyways so I wouldn't be even remotely surprised.
