Cockerel?

[19marvinn]

This is my 8 week old buff. Does it look like a pullet or cockerel to you. I'm kind of hoping it is a boy. lol

The curvy tail feathers looks very roosterlike

I'm hoping that's the case. I'm going to get more pictures when I get home.
Hopefully we can get more opinions.

sounds good. I've had orpington roosters before generally they're pretty friendly(except for this one that would viciously attack anyone who wasn't me)

Pullet -- the curve of the tail feather at 8 weeks is not indicative of gender as many young pullets will have tails that look similar at that stage and this is often confused with the sickle feathering that will develop at "puberty" (later than 8 weeks) in male birds.
