My opinion is a cockerel.

I also think cockerel. (More visible wattles and comb height than my Orpington pullets had at 7 weeks, plus beefy lower legs.)

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

At the stated age, I agree that's a handsome young cockerel.

Chocolate is sex linked.. bred to non chocolate hens, all female offspring will be chocolate at hatch!
