Looks like a cockerel to me, but I'm notoriously bad at sexing. Pink comb, slow feathering and no tail are my clues. Usually at 5 weeks old they also have feathers over that spot on the wings.

Agree it´s a cockerel. Just out of interest, mine take ages to get those wing feathers through, much more than 5 weeks.Looks like a cockerel to me, but I'm notoriously bad at sexing.

Almost all of my pullets have shoulders covered by 5 weeks. I think it really depends on the breeding, some just are slower to feather out by my observations. Usually not the pullets though, but my cockerels feather out at all different rates. I read somewhere that feathering speed/slowness is genetic, but I don't remember where I saw it at.Agree it´s a cockerel.
