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

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 😊
Well, since you have another cockerel, He's probably the dominant one... this will slow the development of other cockerels. Plus you're saying he has other issues, the balance and eating only when laying... which could have slowed his development as well.
 
Yep, they are there now!!!

It was so hard to tell for awhile there because of his developmental delays. He's always been kind of a hot mess with his crazy random feather growth. Lol And with his comb being so small, he definitely had me guessing pullet for quite awhile. We just adore this little guy though, he's one of our keeper cockerels for sure 😊
