May just be a late blooming cockerel. Can you show us the tail again in a couple weeks? I'm curious to see how this one turns out.

I will. He has been fun to watch and speculate since he is so different from the others. He is so cute and very sweet.

Do you have any new pictures?

Here he is. One is with the other cockerel, one is with the only Australorp pullet I have. Both boys started crowing this week. Proud mamma moment.
The feathers on his back are finally filling in. No sweater will be needed this winter.
They are now about 13 weeks old.

Aww! Pretty boys!
