Pullet

Colorwise, looks like a pullet, bur that long sickle feather says cockerel. So I am scratching my head.

I'm in agreement here: the longer feathers sticking up from the tail make me want to tell you it's a boy. However, I can't really see anything else about feathers or color to point to anything but pullet. I'm going to have to settle on saying it's a male, though, just because of that tail. Plus, the way it holds itself just looks very much like how a roo would normally position its body: chest out, tail up. Keep me updated if you find anything new out!

It''s a pullet - the feather in question is not a sickle feather --- the feathering, comb and overall "type" are all pullet.

That's what I think also. I think she will molt out that feather eventually.

Cute little pullet.

That feather doesn't mean anything, it'll go away.

A male of this age would be more colorful, leggier, and have a plumper, redder comb.
