8 week OE (FBCM over Blue Ameracauna) Cockerel or Pullet?

[KYChick13]

"SweetCheeks" is 8 weeks old. French Black Copper Maran crossed over Blue Ameracauna according to breeder. Wattles are def making me think roo! The comb is still smallish but more red than what the pics show. A few copper feathers on the upper back / neck. Big, chunky feet but they are feathered so maybe it's an illusion?? Super shy personality around me, but doing lots of chest bumping with the other pullets. What do you think?!

It's a cockerel, in my opinion.

I can't see the comb very well. Is it a rose comb?

I'm on the fence. The rust color is usually a sign of a cock in mutts, but the wattles and comb are still pretty small.

Slide over, please, ‘cause I’m also on the fence.

Yikes. This fence it quite wobbly.

I think it's a rose comb, maybe pea? Just added some better pics of it. The wattles seem huge to me! And so red..

Thanks for the frontal pictures.

Leaning towards cockerel. Looks like has either a rose or walnut comb so thinking he's part Silkie.

I think that's a boy, but I'm not too good with it.
