Help Sexing Our 13-Week Old Pekin Bantam

[HallFarms]

Hello! So now we have another little one we are concerned may be a roo. Can anyone help us with sexing Stevie? Is 13 weeks old here. Thanks in advance!

Cockerel. Notice the bright red crest and longer tail

Definitely a little cockerel.

ETA: Agree with @RoostersAreAwesome, he’s a D’Uccle. Pekins aren’t bearded/muffed, they’re also much rounder.

Thanks for the feedback! That is what we were starting to think as well.

Thanks! We were under the impression it was a Pekin when we purchased, but in looking at images of this breed, this seems more fitting!

Thanks! I know! We fell in love when we first saw.
