6 week old EE pullet or roo?

What age do they go through the molt to grow adult feathers?

around 12 weeks or so

That's a definite cockerel. He's gorgeous.

A couple side angles from today

Large pink, pea comb, most likely a cockerel.

where do you see the saddles? I am not seeing any yet and keep looking. I am trying to learn so I can figure this out. My cochin was easy to figure out. besides his comb and waddles that came out at 4 weeks HUGE, he also stands more erect and walks very roo like, but he is more docile and even the ones that I am 99.9% sure are pullets beat him up. LOL They are all 10 weeks old.

That’s a boy, sorry Really pretty, but that is a really red comb. Definitely slower to develop for an EE male (in my experience at least), but pullets should have a yellow comb at that age…

Well, considering all chickens have saddle feathers, they're there... But I don't see any male specific ones yet. that said, this is a cockerel.

ok. I knew where they should be but where mysterychicken said they saw them and said cockerel because of that I thought she meant she saw pointy ones. That is what I meant by where did she see them. I don't see any pointy ones yet and heard most times they don't come out till 12-14 weeks. But when I had him in my arms yesterday I looked underneath and didn't see any coming in yet either. Just all rounded feathers in so far.
