Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

[Chescochickens]

Hi all, I thought I selected well at the feed store but am worried I have a cockerel. This barred Plymouth Rock is 3.5 weeks old. She’s starting to show red lines for waddles and her comb is getting red. Any early indications of pullet or cockerel?

A bit young yet. Give it a few more weeks and than update your photos.

Looks like it's single barring so I'll say pullet for now.

I hope you’re right! I looked at the wings and leg color and everything when I bought her but the comb getting red so early is making me nervous. I also bought two buff Orpingtons and their legs are a bit thinner which has me worried too. Will update pictures in a few weeks.

At this early age seeing red coming in at the comb and waddles appearing makes it for me most likely a rooster. I would still wait a little bit longer till about 5 weeks old.
Hens should have pale comb and no waddles at 5 weeks. If you see the red getting more and more waddles coming in will it be rooster.

Updated pictures with better lighting. She’s 4+ weeks now. I actually wonder if she’s a bit older as the feed store said she was over a week when I got her.

Those legs look pink? Is that comb pink already as well?

We have two 7 wks, with orange- ish comb. Still single barr, I think pullet. Yellow legs with gray wash. The legs on yours look gray.

The comb is pink but legs are gray. Hoping she’s just maturing quickly!

Ohh this is good to see! I think mine is on the same track. Really hoping she’s a she. My daughter loves her. I just had a rooster I had to rehome because he chased my kids and don’t want to deal with that again.
