I have the gorgeous little frizzled naked neck baby and I’m struggling to sex it. It was hatched first week of may. I was pretty sure it was a pullet due to lack of wattles but the reddening is throwing me off. lmk what you think!

I'm leaning cockerel with that comb.
How old though?
It was hatched the first week of may, So 4 months august 1st. I’m leaning pullet only because I have a full sibling as well as he’s 100% a boy. He has a much larger comb and very pronounced wattles and saddle feathers already and has had them since about 8 weeks.

This baby I had written down as a pullet bc it has no wattles and the comb was small and pale and there was nothing that resembled hackle or saddle feathers. Until about a week ago it started to get more red.

Ah, okay! At that age I would lean more pullet. Time will tell though and frizzles can be tough!
 
Thought this would be an interesting update. This guy indeed turned out to be a rooster. He developed into a gorgeous young man with an awesome mowhawk. Definitely was slow to mature and just started to crow last week. He’s about 6 months now and is still a total sweetheart.
Since I have frizzle hens this guy is for sale.

Wow thanks for the update, what a handsome guy! From the first pictures I was leaning towards pullet, especially since he had a fast developing brother. He turned out so handsome though!
