Yet another pullet or roo question - Speckled Sussex

[Chickadee7790]

We ordered two Speckled Sussex pullets from McMurray to add to our flock. Sadly, one didn't make it through the first night. The other was the smallest of the two and the smallest of all the chicks we received in that order. She came out of the box ready to rumble. It was very aggressive toward all the other chicks, but has since been put in her place enough times that she has calmed down a little. She is almost 3 weeks old now. About a week ago she started developing a very pronounced comb, which made me start wondering if our little she is actually a little he instead. Has anyone who has dealt with Speckled Sussex chicks had a pullet develop a strong comb that early or do you think I have a roo on my hands?

Since the comb is still pale, I would not say that it is a guaranteed boy. On the other hand looking at the chick as a whole I would keep my eye on this chick as a suspected male.

It’s a little early. Wait another week and post a new picture. For reference-
Here is my three week old SS male and his comb is very pink. No picture of whole body because he was on the move.
