Cluck or cockle doodle doo?

This is Bonsai - an Australorp hatched on March 30. Same size as our other Australorp pullet and much smaller than the 8 cockerels we just rehomed that were from the same batch.

That's a beautiful pullet! At least I think.

Please, post a picture of its back . We need to see the saddle area clearly.

The hackles do look as if it is a cockerel, maybe a runt or late bloomer.

That's what I'm afraid of. Hubby insists it's a pullet

I remember this bird from your first post, it was in the second picture and held by someone. That is when I already thought it to be male.

No. But the other much larger cockerels - 5 were and 4 not. But much larger.

Yeah. Same bird. Hubby says it's female. Not aggressive so watching him
