I want to know what gender my chicken is! Please help

[Lemon-Drop]

I would think pullet as I don’t see any male specific feathering, but the comb and wattles are pretty big and usually barred birds with lighter coloring are cockerels.

May I ask what’s a pullet because I’m still trying to learn the difference

A young hen under one year.

A pullet is a young hen. A cockerel would be a young rooster

Oh ok thank you

Wait, I just realized about 9 weeks. Cockerel.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

The bird is 9 weeks old. The comb size is quite large, and there is single barring that is lighter, compared to the darker double barring females have. He's a boy.

What do you mean?

For a little bit I thought he was much older, like almost laying eggs age.

Then I realized how recently Easter was (about 9 weeks ago)

So that is definitely a cockerel (young male chicken)

Plus the barring is that of a male, females have darker colored barring usually. (My barred rock pullet at 12 weeks)

He has double barring gene. Male for sure.

Now I’m confused cause everyone is sayings it’s a pullet as well
