I think it's too early to tell. I'm leaning boy just a bit, but update in a few weeks for a more accurate answer.

It very hard to tell, but I lean pullet.

Agree leaning to pullet a full body shot might help

Thank you. I will update in three weeks when he/she is 8 weeks.

5 week old cockerel, photo from 20 days ago.

One thing I noticed with Deathlayers, the cockerels always show red/pink combs early on. The pullets, at least for mine, didnt show colored combs for the first 12 weeks or so. Almost flat, dull or non existent.

A pullet of the silver variety. About 7 weeks old.

2 cockerels and 1 not so vibrantly combed pullet. These are about 7 or 8 weeks old in the photo. They are now almost a year old

Done spamming your thread lol hopefully this helps
