9.5 week old blue australorp

[Seafenton]

Hello,
I’m seeking opinion on the gender of this 9.5 week old blue australorp. Comb and waddles are redder than others but I can see any saddle feathers coming through?
thank you

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Male, sorry.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Agreed. You will not normally see saddle feathers until 12+ weeks.

Cockerel, very prominent and red comb and wattle for 9.5 weeks.

Thanks everyone, he’s a little beauty. He might stay to fill our big boys place when he retires. I’ve been after a blue boy to get some splashes!
