5 week old Araucana guess

[Jayteetee]

Hi all,

This is a 5 week old Australian Araucana (Our breeding standards are different).

I know it’s early- but what do you think? Boy is my guess because its comb looks pink & has 3 rows of peas already. It’s also quite pink under the chin.

I’m new with this breed so I welcome your expertise

I think for the age, your guess of having a boy is good! I have 5 week old chicks right now too and some of my boys are starting to be obvious even though they are young.

I'm leaning cockerel as well, that's a pretty big comb for so young.

I think cockerel

I want to keep him but don’t want to annoy my neighbours. We’ll give him a go & hopefully he doesn’t make a lot of noise
