That one is tough. Comb is very pale but broad. There is some silvery smudging on the shoulders, but it's also present on the breast. I'm going with pullet but wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a late developing cockerel. Sorry I can't give better help on this one.
 
How many rows on their comb (if a pea comb) because at 8 weeks the rule of thumb (which has always been right for me at least) is 3 pink rows it’ll crow but I will say cockerel because the tail feathers and broad comb plus the way it walks

I don’t find that the 3 row comb is accurate. I’ve had several that looked to be 3 rowed and turned out to be hens!
 
Hi guys, been a few weeks now and I think this “pullet” his show his true colours. Would I be correct?
