Coronation Sussex. Roo or Pullet?

[herechickchick]

I was sure this was a roo but now I am not sure. I would have expected to comb to be bigger by now. Hatched mid Feburary.

Thanks

I don't know..

LOL Nothing screams roo to me. It looks like a cute little round pullet. These are my favorite by the way! I love coronation sussex!

Hmm, well, I don't have this variety of Sussex (I have a SS pullet named Sarah now who is about 10 weeks old, though, after losing Nelda). I'm leaning toward male, but geez, this one is hard. It's around 12 weeks old? Lots of pink for a 12 week old pullet, but dang, that comb is very small. Sorry, Adam, I can't really tell. Let us know what it turns out to be.

I'm voting cockerel. Sussex should naturally have a smaller, more shallow looking comb, but the wattles is the big ticket here - Notice the pullet in the background for comparison - Hers aren't developed at all. I've seen pullets with big combs, but the wattles usually come in later.
