BLRW 6 weeks old- Roo or Pullet?

Do you think it’s a pullet?
Oh boy, I skipped right over what you said 😆😆 Oops! I’m still on the fence! I see a few pointier back feathers but I’m used to saddle feathers being more shiny and thin. Plus the hackles don’t look particularly pointed at the ends. The tail feathers are iffy and the comb is a bit red…but not as much as your other boy. I think it’s a tweener enough I’d wait a bit longer :)

This was my boy Rexie at 10-11 weeks. I feel like yours has less comb and wattles and a more girly shape! But chickens are lame and uncooperative 😆😆 so I’m probably wrong!

11 weeks old. It’s a pretty timid bird, but does kind of puff up it’s chest when I pick it up. It often bites my finger 🙄 Not a particularly nice bird but it still hasn’t crowed so I remain hopeful maybe it could be a pullet…I definitely lean more towards rooster though.
