Cockrel or pullet?

[SamBean95]

We really thought our porcelain was a cockrel because of how red it’s comb was and how big it got so fast but compared to all the other chickens it hasn’t gotten a wattle at all and i saw a cockrel jump on its back so I’m pretty sure it’s a pullet i just want to make 100% sure lol

How old?

Jumping on the back is also a sign of dominance, not necessarily mating.

My guess is cockerel. That is a large comb. Wattles will come in time.

I’d say probably 10-12 or 12-14 weeks ish.
All the other ones it’s age already have big red combs and wattles and have started crowing by now so I’m just a little thrown off lol

Yes, looks like a cockerel.

It may never show big obvious wattles, because it has a beard. Chickens with beards tend to have smaller wattles than chickens without beards, and the beard hides what wattles they do have.

(Look at photos of d'Uccle roosters, in Porcelain or Mille Fleur or any other color, for examples of bearded chickens that do not have obvious wattles.)
