Barred rock Plymouth Rock gender question

Pink is definitely a girl. Blue is either a light colored girl or a slow to mature boy. Generally by 4 - 5 weeks a BR boy will have red and much bigger comb and wattles.

Though if it is a slower developing boy they tend to be better gentlemen than the quicker developing boys. So he's got that going for him if it is a cockerel.

I didn’t know that about slow maturing males! Thank you for sharing.
What a bonus if it was a girl! When I put this all together I’m thinking it’s a boy: he went from the smallest/lightest chick to now the second heaviest out of 5. He’s bigger than pink now & he has been observed chest bumping lots, standing tall and has feathered less than pink. He is actually quite calm & chill when being handled compared to pink- so yes, hopefully they are gentleman qualities if a boy.

They are 6 weeks old now! First is blue, second is pink.

Honestly, by this time I think they're both pullets. I would expect a cockerel to have a much redder comb and wattles than either of them do right now.

They still look female to me but I’m new, I’m just going by what mine looked like at that age.
