What breed and gender?

This chicken was supposed to be a female. Its about 12 weeks old. Looks almost like my cinnamon queen but with black in the feathers. It's the one with the biggest comb.

It has darker shoulders and I think I see male specific feathering starting to come in there, so I think it is a cockerel. It could be a production Rhode Island red, a Cinnamon Queen or maybe something like a Starlight green egger.

I see no male-specific feathering, but the body shape looks like a cockerel, very tall and gangly.

Thanks for the reply. I think it's starting to look like a rooster to me also

I don't know if you can see it very well on any of the pictures, it's getting some pointy neck feathers that have a shine to them almost like they're wet. Also it seems like it's tail feathers are starting to curl down.

Agreed

Thanks for your help. They were supposed to be sexed. I'm new to this but I thought cinnamon queen's we're all female.

Not all CQs are female. They *are* sex-linked though. So not a CQ cockerel. Could be a Production Red cockerel. Post updated pics in a few weeks just to be certain.
