GLW, pullet or cockerel?

[MommyMagpie]

Or is it too early to tell? We purchased this bird as a singleton, its sister had already been sold as a sure pullet. The breeder was not sure whether this one is a boy or a girl. It is less than 8 weeks old but I forgot to ask its hatch date. It is not fully feathered yet, lots of quills under the wings and at the rump.

I can upload and post another pic of just its face if that might help.

at 8 weeks old and the red comb and wattles-wow Id say roo for sure!

Well, that will certainly disappoint DS10 if you are correct. He insists on referring to it as a she.....its name is Pot Pie.

I think I will remain here in denial until it is fully feathered (but I do agree those wattles do look mighty red in the photo).

That's definitely a cockerel.

Well, since it seems to be unanimous I will begin trying to rehome him. He has such a sweet face, it's a pity, but we are in the city and the law says NO to chickens that crow.

Yes, at 8-9 weeks looking like that it's a roo.... we have a GLW pullet and two SLW pullets that are 9-10 weeks and our GLW doesn't have any red in the comb or waddles neither do the two SLWs...sorry but you've got a boy there.
