Any early guesses on this large fowl partridge cochin?

[Bear and Dart]

He's almost 11 weeks old, looking pretty

He is so very handsome!!

yes he is, I feel like he's always watching over everything.

Way to young to know for certain, but I am a little unsure with that comb. Wren is supposed be a female but sexing isn’t 100% so was just wondering your thoughts

I say male..

Looks a lot like my three pullets at that age. Too young IMO to say, really. This was my first one at a week old. Was 100% dark feathering throughout.

And at 6 weeks old:

And two more we added this spring at about 3 weeks old (not the best Pic, but gives an idea of their coloring): These had a tiny bit more white on them, but also confirmed pullets.

I hope you’re right, this makes me feel I little better.

Also you’re chickens are beautiful.

Awww, thanks! They are one of the sweetest breeds I have. I got one last year as a surprise chick and love her so much I added two more this year. Hope your little one turns out to be a gal that you can keep and enjoy!

This is her/him at 7 1/2 weeks, sorry for bad pictures they won’t stop moving

Looks like a cockerel still

 

[Bear and Dart]

Do you have updated pictures? I'm not sure the exact time, but it gradually developed it seemed, at least with my Partridge Brahma cockerel

I am leaning towards cockerel alot now. "His" waddle is getting bigger and is pretty red and i yhink i see the maroon coloring but am not sure since ive never raised any partridge breeds. also sorry the 4th picture is really blurry i got pecked in the eye when taking it. they are 9 weeks old.

He looks like he's getting it in as of now! The pin feathers look to be the maroon you mentioned! Sometimes it takes a bit
