5 week old Black Australorp sex?

[jubgulia]

All my chicks were purchased as pullets but one has me wondering. This BA is 5 weeks old and is smaller than the other two who are the same age, has barely any tail, and is a little troublemaker. It's comb is pinker than the others, although it had lighter coloring on the face to begin with so I'm not sure if that is related or not.

I think cockerel

That much comb this young and already turning red, good chance you've got a cockerel there.

I also believe that to be a male.

Cute little Guy!
I think you do have a little cockerel on your hands.

Sweet little face but looks to be a cockerel,

Thanks! Sounds like it unanimous. Guess I'll go find him a new home.
