Hello all, I'm looking for confirmation for what I already think I know....this BCM "pullet" is not a pullet at all is it?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my post...6 weeks.How old is (s)he?
Was curious about this as well.Are all 3 photos the same bird? I see penciling and copper at the hackles on the first 1, but the bottom 3rd one is all black.
Assuming what...about 8 weeks?
Bottom 3rd photo is clearly a cockerel.

All are same bird, all taken in the last week (different times of day) and the section of run closest to coop is covered so no natural light could be why it looks all black sitting in the door. The hatchery I bought them from said they hatched on April 4th so 6 weeks old or in the 7th week of life. I'm still new and not sure which is proper age.Are all 3 photos the same bird?

I got 3 BCMs, all supposed to be pullets....the other 2 look totally different, comb is much smaller and no color in it.Was curious about this as well.
Agreed, 3rd photo does look like a cockerel.
Maybe it is the same bird at different ages?
Thank you! I thought so and I was going to try to wait and see if he crowed or laid an egg but patience is not my virtue!Absolutely positively a cockerel. Marans boys telecast very early. That size comb is cockerel through and through.
