Not suprising. Young cockerels are always appear more friendly because they are a bit more Courageous.

There certainly is a slight chance this will still be a pullet. I was recently 100% fooled with a bird here. Looked like a certain cockerel on all accounts, but the comb and wattles just stopped developing at about 6 weeks.

Just waiting for that egg to make it official.

I considered, momentarily, tagging and summoning the crusher, but the thread is already calling out, like a lost lamb, all on its own. I.... will go hide.
