Cockerel or pullet

[ahmadeido]

hi, I have a 15 week old astralorpe that I can't quite figure if it's a male or female , no crowing, sounds like a puller, please help!

I think pullet.

Any thoughts on mine? 3 weeks old. RIR mix breed.

Too young yet, but it has thick legs, and dark red coloring. Watch to see if that comb gets pink in the next few weeks.

I can't seem to tell, I'm usually pretty good at this but this bird is giving me the run for it, mostly hen feathering but few suspicious feathers here and there

Think I see a few pointed hackle feathers (Australorp) too early to tell on the little red mix.
