Gender wyandotte 9/10 weeks

[Sanne]

Hello everyone,
I'm raising my first 2 chickens ever since they were 2/3 weeks of age. A friend who hatched them herself feather sexed them at the first day but she is also new to this so was half guessing.
I have one barnevelder wich I'm 80% sure is a pullet.
The wyandotte chic in question developed already red waddles and a comb at the age of 4 weeks. Wich makes me believe its a Cockerell. I think s(h)e is big and has thick legs but I can only compare with the barnevelder but that's a smaller breed. Now at the age of 9/10 weeks s(he) looks like a miniature hen. S(he) doesn't show hackle of saddle feathers yet (but probably too early to tell?) S(h)e doesn't walk really high, it looks the same like the barnevelder. I dont have experience with roosters so diffucult to tell if s(h)e Is showing rooster behaviour, but from what I read I don't think so. S(h)e is the more brave of the 2.
I'm hoping is a hen that developed waddles early on i read its possibles but think alot of guesses will go to rooster?
In the first picture she is about 4/5 weeks.
Thank you for taking a guess!
I'm planning to keep this thread updates with new pictures when s(h)e is older!

Wattles that red at 4 weeks, I would personally take as an absolutely clear sign of being male. Go with your first instinct, it's a cockerel.

I agree, I think it’s a cockerel. But it has such nice lacing I can’t believe it’s not a pullet! I’m also surprised there aren’t any male specific feathers appearing, because with that amount of comb and wattle development I’d expect some. So there is a chance this is just a really fast maturing pullet.

That's what I'm hoping

UPDATE:
He is now 10/11 weeks and started crowing yesterdag. It sounded like someone is blowing on a kazoo or something lol.
Pictures for people who are also trying to guess the gender of their SL wyandottes. Still no typicall rooster feathers but he surely is a boy.

Interesting, it is pretty hen like. Although I can't see the face super well. Beautiful bird!

Beautiful! Yeah that comb is bigger than my girls and she is 20wks.

He may be hen feathered. But at the same time, my partridge wyandotte bantam cockerels take forever to get their rooster plumage. So he may grow in rooster feathering in his next/final molt.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. Their first crows are so hilarious, aren't they?

He sure is one gorgeous cockerel, I hope you can keep him.
