Is this a cockerel?

ChickView attachment 4130105View attachment 4130106 is about 4 weeks old, Polish, Easter Egger mix. The tail is starting to make me think he is. Thank you for your input!View attachment 4130107

Yep, Too soon to tell!

A close-up of the head would help. I do not see the reddening up.

I get mixed vibes. Male from the heavy legs and slight curl of the tail feathers (some pullets have curled tail feathers

but it is mostly a make clue) but the posture is more female.

The coloring of this chick makes me lean male. Pullets tend to be more blended.

To me it is often easier to say "male" than "female". Male traits seem to stand out more than female traits so you can recognize them earlier. But some males develop those traits later.

The comb color is not red at all to me but are wattles starting to show? Wattles of any color at this age are a strong indication it is a male.

The wattles are slightly showing and to me, are turning pink/light red. I will keep an eye on them.

6 weeks, wattles haven't grown but comb is getting slightly darker:

I’m with what you’ve shown so far, looked a lot like an EE mix I had that I was in the fence with, but similar to yours, her comb never reddened and she turned out to be one spunky Pullet. Some just have that extra edge more than other pullets. Beautiful Pullet!

It is an EE mix so I guess it could be a pullet too Still hard tell, it isn't crowing yet though.
