Cockerel or Pullet? Help!

[tigershep]

What do you think? It acts different than the others, has a kind of purplish hue, it's tail is a lot shorter and has always had a slight bend to it. It's comb is slightly taller, face is more red. But I'm not an expert, so I'm asking for opinions. Thanks!

Hmmm difficult to tell but are the hackle feathers pointed? And do I see saddle feathers coming in? If so-would say its a boy IMHO

How old?

I keep thinking the feathers look right for a rooster, but I can't tell for sure if they are or I'm just being too hopeful.

2.5 months

Hmmm at that age I'd expect more comb and wattle for a cockerel, even though the legs are pretty big, I'm going with pullet until a better pic shows up.

I am not cut out to be a chicken photographer haha.

I think a pullet you can see if the spurs are bigger if their male then they come in faster/ earlier then the pullets

another trick I try is to flip them on there back when you hold them if they fight it could be a rooster if the just sit there it could be a hen

At 2.5 months, a boy would PROBABLY have more comb. At this point, I would consider it a pullet.
