Buff Rock - Rooster or Hen?

[farmer-ted]

Hi all,

I'm hoping an expert can help me... I'm having
a hard time determining the sex of this one. It is 18 weeks old. Please advise. Thanks

The comb makes me think pullet. However, the neck feathers look rather pointy, and the patchy color on the wings (a cockerel trait) is concerning. For now, I'm going with cockerel. A a side-profile photo would help us be sure of that.

I'd say cockerel. I think I see pointy hackle (neck) feathers.

It hasn't started crowing yet... I was really hoping it would be a hen as this one is my favourite!

Even with these new photos, I'm still not sure. I'm leaning towards "it" being a pullet, though.

The legs of the suspected Rock cockerel are longer than they appear in the above photos.

If its 18 weeks I would say pullet

I agree on this being a pullet!
