Cockerel or pullet please.

[Amandaaaaa1]

I’ve had mixed answers to this. I thought cockerel because I thought it was crowing but now I’ve been told it’s more likely a dominant pullet. She/he is approx 3.5 months

He's a cockerel

He's a cockerel

Could you please tell me why? I am new to chickens. The person I am giving him to is sure it’s a she.

I see male-specific saddle and hackle feathers, and his comb and wattles are bright red (although at that age red comb and wattles can also be a sign of a fast maturing pullet)

In my experience, Fluffycrow has always been spot on when sexing my young chicks if that makes you feel more confident in their answer

Thank you, Muser.

I try my best . It's definitely not unheard of for me to make mistakes, though

He looks like a mixed breed.
