Hi everyone 👋🏻 I have a 9 week old olive egger and I’m unsure if it’s a roo or hen it’s been super slow feathering compared to the other 5 and hardly has tail feathers so it’s making it hard for me to tell appreciate any insight anyone has

The stance, iridescent feathers, and red comb make me think cockerel. However, I have an EE that I’m also struggling to determine gender so I’m not an excellent judge. Hopefully you can get some better input!
 
I'm gonna guess male on this one, because of comb color+size, stance,
leg thickness, and because the few feathers that ARE growing near the tail
look male in shape/size to me.
