Help sexing my 8-week-old BO

[HappyHandsHomestead]

Greetings! This is my first post. I have four chickens...thought they were all hens, but now I’m not so sure. My BO has sprouted a very defined comb and wattles at 8 weeks old. This is my 5-year-old’s favorite of the flock, and he will be devastated if we have to get rid of the chicken if it turns out to be a rooster. We’re already sending another to a sanctuary tomorrow because we have no doubt he’s a dude. I’m worried about the buff though. Just last week, we were sure she was a “she”.

Could you do a full body picture?
I’m leaning towards pullet

Has a lot of comb and wattle development for 8 weeks old so I'm leaning towards cockerel. I agree a full body picture would help.

Hope you enjoy all this community has to offer
I bought a pair last year and they were 8 weeks when I got them, although they aren't Buffs they are Orpingtons

If you click on the picture it will enlarge so you can see it better The black one on the left is a Roo and the Blue is a hen. Just so you can see comb development at 8 weeks.

Idk, I'm thinking pullet at the moment.

Pretty sure it's a cockerel.

I don’t know but if I had to guess it would be a cockerel
