3 week old Porcelain d'Uccle, please be a girl please be a girl!

I am not allowed roosters where I live and I'm already pretty attached to her, I know 3 weeks is a little early yet but I've seen pics of roos at 4 weeks that have combs 3 or 4 times this size, please tell me this is a pullet!

Sorry about the water spots on the glass, she has this weird habit of picking up a piece of food, dropping it in her water then very quickly snatching it back out before it sinks, she makes a mess! Also...isn't that comb a little...wonky? Is that anything to worry about?

You can generally tell by 5-6 weeks. Give it another week or two, or three. Comb is just crooked, nothing to worry about.

I did figure it might be a tad early but I really don't want to get anymore attached than I already am if I am going to have to rehome them (I couldn't separate them, that would be sad for them) but I can wait another week or so.
As far as the comb, I'm glad that it's not a big deal, I didn't figure it was, I was just curious about it. Thank you so much for replying.

I have five porcelain D'uccle chickens sorry but red this quick will mean cockeral. They don't really mature for six months.

I have 4 ,( 6 or 7 week old) porcelain d'uccle's that are now easy to tell between hen's and roo's , so give it more time, but it seems like that little bit of red I see is saying cockerel, but sometimes they can trick you so don't lose hope just yet!

Too young. Please post pics of the comb at 6 weeks.

You have a cockerel for sure. d'Uccle pullets don't pink up that early.

That bit of pink bothers me but, maybe it won't progress over the next couple of weeks

Just overnight the entire comb is now pink, I'm preparing myself emotionally for rehoming.
