EE cockerel or pullet?

Hi all! I think I already know the answer but is this EE a cockerel? I’m not zoned for roo’s so I can’t keep him if so. It’s about 10 weeks old.

100% cockerel.

I should add that it does have a 3 rowed comb, but it’s small and no waddle. S/he’s been a mystery since week 2 I’ve been back and forth about a dozen times. I’ll try to get a picture of the face and comb but it’s very skittish and won’t let me near it, even though I’ve held it since day 2 of its life

Rows on a comb means nothing, that is an old wives' tale and you shouldn't believe it. However, how quickly the comb grows and reddens is what you should watch for, but I have found that the shape of feathers is much more reliable.

Thank you! That confirms my suspicions

You're welcome!
