PS: I hope its a boy because we have no roosters.

I am no expert but I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up with a cockerel. My females that are just about 10 weeks are just beginning to show a hint of wattles.

Oh cool ok thanks

I think girl.
Well it's easy enough (too easy) to obtain roosters. If this is a girl like I think, you should have no trouble finding a boy.

We dont really want to buy one because my dad would prefer not to have one but if it is one he would be fine. My mom and I want one though.

The coloring looks like a pullet. Cockerels are usually much lighter.

What did it turn out to be? I have three and I tend to guess more buy tails not that im an expert lol judging by the waddle I would say hen but that breed is hard.

Precisely the same for me. Which is why usually I get the chickens first and then let him know.
He likes chickens but he is more practical than my mum and me....we would have the place overrun. Nope.....we already have the place overrun. Gone from three hens to 12 chickens....two roosters, three chicks and the rest hens.
Maybe your dad will relent & you can finally get a rooster.
