Do you have a better photo? It looks like there might be some copper coming in on the wings/shoulder. If that's the case, it's a cockerel.

 

[thick chick]

Not tonight. But what should I look for.

 

[junebuggena]

Females should only have copper on their necks and chest. Only males get the copper color on their wings/shoulder.

 

[thick chick]

What about the comb on this bird . what's your guess

 

[thick chick]

There is some copper on its back I noticed

 

[junebuggena]

I can't see the comb properly in the picture. It's too blurry.

 

[thick chick]

I will try tomorrow to get a better one . I am rehoming him/her tomorrow but was curious
