8wk old Sapphire Gem....pullet or cockerel?

[Ebz5003]

This is Oceanne, an 8wk old Sapphire Gem chick. I am guessing it is a pullet, but the comb and waddles, raptor-like sounds, which are different from the others, and fact that it is acting in charge of all the other chicks make me wonder if it is a cockerel.

I think pullet.

That is a pullet.
Sapphire Gem males are barred and by that age would be showing up.
