14 week old pullet or cockerel?

[A1icat]

This is an almost 14 week old RIR that I suspect may be a cockerel. I have a confirmed
14 week old cockerel of a different breed that is much larger and has a more developed/red comb which makes me even more confused on this one here. Based on the saddle feathers alone, I am leaning towards cockerel.

I’m on the fence.

Better pictures of the saddle area?

My gut says pullet with a weird tail

This is the best I can get. He or she is a little timid. I can try to get better pictures tomorrow

I'm thinking pullet.

Pullet with a weird tail.

Ok! That makes me feel better. I already have one accidental cockerel and I’d hate to have to re-home one of them.

She's a pullet! A RIR cockerel would have a massive comb by this age

 

[JustBabyMargo]

Yup I agree she is a pullet!
