I think the Cockerels grow up then outI'm pretty sure that one is 10 weeks old ... part of my second hatch. She could be from the first hatch, and be 12 weeks or the third and be a little younger ... I have a maybe one each from the first three hatches showing up lighter like this one and tried to get photos yesterday, but once I looked at the photos it isn't as easy to remember which bird is which. The more recent hatches are still too little to say anything useful about feathers.
As far as shape goes, that seems to be my pullet shape. The cockerels are similar, but up on drumsticks. I think I posted a photo showing the different body shapes at about 8 weeks?

Its sometime hard to tell in pics but I am fairly sure its a pullet and one of my favorite of this hatch- I don't see any cockerels in those two pics they are already getting red pronounced waddlesI love the bird in the top photo. I know part of it is the pose, but still. There is just something that screams "I'm an adolescent male!" in the body shape of the cockerels. I enjoy that.
At least one of my Freedom Mutts cockerel's voice is changing -- they hatched on almost the same day as my first batch of Delawares. I'll be intrigued to see how much longer it takes the Delawares to start with that.

Hello BeekIssed,
Would you like to sell a few of those "KathyDells" to a geneticist who would like to continue Kathy's work? I'm originally from Strasburg, VA and was reared on my grandmother's chicken (broiler) farm there. Now many years later after taking every poultry science course the Un. of Md. had am now an inspired chicken nut. Is old Strawtown near your part of West Va? I now live in California but miss the Alleghenies and the Blue Ridge. Does being known as Beekissed have anything to do with being a beekeeper or are you just friendly?
Sincerely,
Neal, the Zooman
