Ah. Thank you

 

[Chuckkeeper]

Thanks!

Exactly!!

Thank you! Which part of the colouring is male exclusive? I have some much younger versions that look the same colour... But no combs yet!

Cockerels, no doubt. The coloring is male exclusive, there are indeed male saddle feathers there....

The leakage all over and light wing bars is a male thing. Females have much more subdued coloring.

True for a cross too? Here's one of the younger versions.. same cross

How old, 5 weeks?

Looks more like a pullet to me.

Yes roughly. The adult in this thread started off the same!

They look similar to my boy, I had years ago.

Are they allowed to run outside in the natural sunlight for several hours a day?
If so, I would expect comb and wattles to have more colour if this was a cockerel.
