10.5 week old ameraucana, am i a boy?

Hello all, just wanted to get a final opinion on Alfredo, who is 11 weeks on friday. I'm suspecting a boy at this point but more informed opinions would be nice.

No male feathering at this point, but the comb has some size and color. So kind of in between. I'm not confident on this one but guessing it is a later blooming cockerel. @EmmaRainboe

If he is a boy, I will attempt to keep him. I have a good home lined up in the case my landlord denies my request but I'm not holding out too much hope for a pullet with that comb.

I went out and parted his saddle feathers to try and get a shot of those growing in. Thoughts now?

I was doing this one handed so please forgive tree quality

He has male specific saddles. He’s a cockerel.

That's what I thought but new to the cockerel thing. I love the crap out of him, he's my shoulder bird

Yep, he's male.

Just for anyone who has a questionable ameraucana, here is Alfredo now, he's currently 15 weeks old. Such a silent and docile bird, not exhibiting the typical rooster behavior. Super blesses, however, currently looking for a really good home for him.

Wow, he's extremely stunning!
Wish I had more space for a rooster like him. Lol
