All chickens have saddle feathers. Are the male saddle feathers? No. They are females.

You're welcome.
The male feathers will usually start coming in at 12 weeks old. At this age you are looking for comb and wattle development. All their combs are small, which means they are pullets.

This one has a bit of a bigger comb compared to the others— I also notice it has a bit of a three pea appearance. Would you suspect roo with this one, or is comb a small size for age?

It could go either way honestly. I'd get some updated pictures in 2ish weeks.

Hi! 10 weeks soon. Are these feathers looking more pointy? Am I looking at the right area?

Here’s some additional pictures. Totally looks pointed, right? Can Jen’s have pointed saddle feathers, or just roos?
