14 weeks - posted some pics when younger, but got varying thoughts on breed. Austra White? Delaware? Something else? Male or female?

Purchased from bargain bin at Meyer Hatchery, so it has to be something they sell! However, this specimen doesn't really match their pics online!

If I had to guess breed I'd also say Delaware. My favorite was of telling gender, especially when I don't know the specific breed, is by saddle feathers.

This picture was taken in my Batchelor coop, everyone gets along well. Better than the Bantam pullets!
This cockerel is a silver duckwing OEGB. You can easily see the pointy saddle feathers.

This is a silver duckwing OEGB pullet. The saddle feathers look completely different from the male's right?

White on white is kind of hard to see, I can only guess cockerel. You have the chicken right there, what do the saddle feathers look like to you?
