Is my chick a Rooster?

[Kingerrrr]

Hello,

First time chicken owner here. Things are going great and my chicks are happy as can be. However, one of my chicks, a Delaware, has been extremely loud and vocal. Which is fine but has got me wondering if it's a rooster,and I am talking 5x louder than any of the other chicks, it likes to get on top of the brooder plate and just let loose calls, very often. I also noticed a comb starting to come in which none of the other chicks have.

I have contacted the supplier to see what they say, but wanted to know what you all think.

Thanks,

I see nothing that says cockerel to me. Pullet chicks are often as loud as, if not louder, than cockerels.

Sometimes a loud chick is in distress of some sort.

Fair enough, I'm fine with it like I said. Just wanted to see what people thought. She only does it when we aren't in the room...someone may be an attention hog

They imprint on you and then call out in distess when you leave like they'd do if they can't see mama hen. This one may be especially attached!
