Appenzeller Spitzhauben gender?

Thought it was a cockerel based off of the saddle feather area, but not sure because besides that one picture, I don't see saddle feathers like that in person. New to this breed!
10 weeks old.

Saddle feathers come in at around 12weeks. I’d personally say pullet but we shall wait and see! Your bird is extremely beautiful though!

Isn't it sharp looking? I am so excited for it! My sister got 100 chick's from cackle hatcheries 'a little of everything' bundles. She gave me a handful of unique ones to balance out my more common place gals.

Could you possibly get a clear photo of a close up of the saddle feathers? Looking at the full body i do agree they seems somewhat sharp and pointy but I need a more clear photo.

I think you'll be suprised to know this is likely a cockerel.

We had a spitz of both genders, now just a hen. The hat is distinctly different in the two, with the pullet being more of a top hat v the staggered sharpness is this one. Let me see if I can get a pic of our hen.

Here she is, about 10 weeks or so I believe. Also the fastest chicken I have ever seen in my life. Like the flash.

Do you have clearer pictures of the shoulder or saddle feathers?
