Any early guesses on this large fowl partridge cochin?

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

When should I expect the maroon coloring to come in if he/she is indeed a boy?

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

the comb and waddle are especially apparent if you look at my black cochin
