I have a 5 week old Black Orpington. I was hoping for opinions on if this is a cockerel or pullet? I have given away it’s sibling which was twice it’s size/huge legs, and it’s comb was red by 2-3 weeks old. This one isn’t any bigger than the other babies, but it’s comb has reddened this week. What are your thoughts?

Very likely a cockerel.

Yea that's a rooster

Very likely a cockerel.

I figured as much. I was holding out, hoping it’s not. It’s my favorite baby. Thanks for replying.
