Boy or Girl? 2.5 month old Silkie/EE mix

[LadiesAndJane]

I have crossed with Polish, Ameraucana, Leghorn and Olive Egger (BCM/Ameraucana). All had crests. (Polish is obvious, though).

Notice my bird is also beardless?

All mine had beards, too. Some bigger than others. Silkie father was bearded. Genetics are interesting!

Here is an update on my Silkie x EE cross. Now 18 weeks / 4.5 months. Any thoughts on cockerel vs Pullet??

Can you get a clearer picture?

Here are some better photos. Any guesses?

Cockerel.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

I was going to say cockerel, based on comb size, BUT I do not see any male saddle feathers. I would expect to see these at this age. Can you get a CLEAR close up of the saddle area. This bird is a little tricky.

Cockerel.

Agreed

I think I see a few. Since he is a solid color, it blends in quite well.
