Is my 8 week old Barnevelder a cockerel?

[comish83]

Hello all. I have an 8 1/2 week old Barnevelder that I got from a hatchery and have a feeling it is a cockerel. Its sister (Barnevelder) doesn't even have its wattle and the comb is so much smaller. Would appreciate some help here. I am new to this!

Did you ever figure out what you had? I’m in the same boat! Have 2 that I think are male. Read if they have the pattern on their chest they’re chest then it’s more than likely a female, please let me know!
