Welsummer.. Roo or hen?

[Nmeng]

The comb of this 3.5 week old welsummer makes me think roo- but the markings are hen? Or maybe not? What do you think?

Female would have a reddish breast and male would have black. Sure looks like it's feathering in reddish to me.
I'd trust the pattern more then the comb.

Ok! Thank you! I do see the V shape on the head which is supposedly a sign of female too. The comb is just so pronounced

Some of the males feather early brown breast feathers later to be replaced by black as the pass 1 month

The eye liner is another give away where as females have thick dark lines and the males thing light and sometimes no lines
