Is my Orpington a rooster?

[Aussie Chicken Guy]

This beloved chicken of ours had some developmental issues early on. ‘She’ is now 6 or 6 and a half months old. Any advice if it’s a boy or a girl?

Looks like a cockerel (boy chicken) for sure to me

Cockeral.

You can clearly see the pointy saddle feathers in front of the tail and also the hackle feathers coming in.

Must be a late bloomer. If he had some health or physical issues to overcome that could be the reason for his late blooming.

Looks like a cockerel--like posted above there are saddle feathers.

Agree, due to saddle feathers.

Yep sorry boy, i have a lavender Orpington that was a late bloomer as well. He had everyone confused right up until about 20-24 weeks
