It looks male to me.

Doesn't even look like a Delaware to me. By now mine had some black in the neck and tails.

It has the double wide looking breast of a Cornish Cross.

I think it has the right color pattern for a Delaware (Silver Columbian with white barring that breaks up the black into little flecks), but I do not know whether the body shape is right or wrong. It could be a Delaware-colored meat bird, or an actual Delaware, and I personally would not be able to tell the difference at this age.

This bird is HUGE for five weeks… are you sure it’s not some sort of meat cross? I agree, it does not look like a Delaware.
