Is our 10 week old runt, a cockerel or pullet?

I can't see it. And those aren't the areas cockerels have indicative pointy feathers anyway.

We need more votes!!
 
I honestly cannot see what pointy ones you can see.
Red pointy saddles growing out the back. Ignore the round stippled feathers.

Thank you everyone. Would more pics help? Here are some of other cockerel(1) that has similar coloring, a pic of their Mom(2) and a few more pics of Lil' Bit. Maybe these will help.

Your outline shows rounded feathers Hence: Pullet.
Also, I do not see any wattle development nor comb development.
Hint: take her tail feathers and fan them out. (Like holding cards in one hand) Pullets will have an "Organized" fan shape. Cockerels will Not.
 
those rust wingbars don't lie... that's a cockerel. Slow developing, but a cockerel.
You're right...he is definitely very slow to mature. Here are a few updated pics of him. First pic is of him and his sister. Both 14 weeks. I'm not sure what has caused him to be so delayed in growth but he struggles with balance and eats laying down. But, he is by far, the sweetest cockerel we have 😊
