Blue Andalusian cockerel or hen?

I think I see pointy hackle feathers, mine are almost eight weeks and they don't have any combs yet and nothing is pink.

Are yours Andalusians? Hens get large combs and wattles too and they are early maturing. Hoping pullet. Acts more like hen...lol

I'm still on the fence too, I looked at my eight week olds and mine are all hens and just starting to get some comb, the roosters of other breeds are much more red and obvious.

This was my Andalusian hen at 4 months...

...and 5 months when she started laying:

Good luck!

I forgot to add, my vote is pullet Yours looks very similar to mine & you can see how fast her comb came in!

I have to blue andalusians, both hens and just started laying about a week ago. One matured very fast and had a HUGE pink comb early on. Her sister was slower. I think their combs are both STILL growing, they are just massive sized for the size of bird they are. Plus I believe rooster blue andalusians have different colors than the hens and your's look similar to my own.

here they are at a little under 9 weeks.



And again at about 14 weeks.
