Cockeral or pullet

[Trickylee]

Hi Chicken Brains Trust Hoping for your help again. Our last 'rooster' turned out to be a pullet so just wanting a gender ID on 'Marley'? We really arent sure at this stage. Very much appreciate any help,
Kind regards

I would say rooster, based on the color of his comb and the shape of his feathers.

Yeah we are confused, he has the same comb as one of the hens and is making clucking noise, also getting 'henpecked'. Do roosters sometimes make the same clucking noises as chooks?

Sometimes they will make the same clicking noises hens do to their babies to let the flock know that their is food!

With 90% certainty I will say that this is a cockerel! The pointed feathers on his neck are a big tell as well as his coloring and comb+wattles.

haha, no its fine. We were after a rooster, but were given a pullet, so we got this guy. He has some bantam and silkie in him ...and goodness knows what else, but we just were starting t think he was she, because he hasn't started crowing yet and is getting bossed around by the older girls
