I will echo that with birds at about 12 weeks one can generally determine sex by the saddle feathers alone. Longer, pointier, glossier saddle feathers are cockerels. The ones with lighter, more uniform, wider, and rounded saddle feathers are pullets. It's almost foolproof by that time. Once you know how to look for it, it's easy to spot. If I get a chance I'll take some pics and post them.
Score! Perfect, thank you so very much
Looking forward to any pictures too. My learning is never ending.
