Cockerel that’s what I’m wanting it to be.so your guess is pullet or cockeral?
Round Neck (hackle) feathers for a girl. Rounded tail area feathers instead of pointed ones. Roosters have long arched tail feathers, "Sickles".How can you tell again, I’m hoping for a boy

Nice looking hen. See how round her neck feathers are?This is my 2 year old hen. Head that looks like a roo.View attachment 1783077
Mine SLW is only 8 weeks old thoThen, if they are all the same age, (20 weeks), then the "rooster" would have started mating with the hens by now. It's not a rooster, just a larger hen that grew faster. I am 99.9% confident in this. It would have started crowing by 6 weeks and mating by 16. Sorry man.

Sometimes you have to wait until they molt as an adult to see the adult feathers. But check the neck and tail feathers for points!Mine SLW is only 8 weeks old tho
