3 Month Old GLW - pullet or cockerel?

[khoitsema]

Hi there - first time chicken owner here

I have recently adopted 2 black marans and 1 golden-laced wyandotte. They are 3 months old, and and I was told they were all pullets. However, I'm suspicious about the GLW.
Her hackle feathers look straight-ish, and sometimes when she's chasing the other two she brings them forward (like a lions mane). I don't know if this is normal for both males and females. Her tail feathers also seem to be elongating and curling. No crowing yet.. but maybe she/he's too young? Can someone help me determine is she is in fact a she? Thanks

The behavior is normal but the comb and wattles look pretty male, as does that tail. Sexing is only about 90% accurate.

I would suspicious about "her" too. I'm thinking cockerel too.

That much comb and wattle development at this young age combined with the gold wing bars makes for a cockerel for sure. The behavior you describe is not sex specific. All chickens regardless of age, sex, or breed do it.

Looking like a boy, oh boy!

I think these are the saddle feathers?

He's a little young for male specific saddle feathers yet. They generally show up around 15 weeks.

You have a beautiful little boy there! He is a handsome thing!
