I hope it's a boy

[Dean126]

I hatched this little one about 9 weeks ago and from the beginning I suspected it was a boy. There is a decently large red pea comb on him that came out before the other chicks, but thats all. I don see saddles, Sickles, or pointed hackles, but then again my eye is untrained. I was hoping somebody can weigh in on this and affirm what I think.

Definitely a cockerel.

Sure looks like a handsome cockerel to me.

I saw the title and thought you left out the word ‘not’... It’s a dream come true for someone. Cockerel!

 

[chrissynemetz]

9 weeks is really too young for any male specific feathers, but the coloring and that huge comb say boy.

I think most cockerels start to develop signature feathers at around 13 weeks for most breeds.
