Svart Hona: pullet or cockerel?

[Ilovechickens2525]

Hello! I have this lovely docile svart hona (6 weeks old tomorrow). Being all black I’ve found it hard to tell as the comb will obviously not pink up. Now that she or he is almost fully feathered, what are we thinking?? Roo or hen? It’s my only one so can’t compare.

I've never raised these, but I would be concerned about the height of the comb at 6 weeks. If it continues to grow in the next few weeks, then it is probably a cockerel.

I hatched her myself, ordered the egg from breezy bird farms. She ships Canada wide, but not to the states.

My uneducated guess would be pullet.

I am thinking she’s a pullet now too, feathers are looking quite round compared to another chick the same age that I am leaning roo!
