But, there's obvious black in the breast feathers, another way to tell is the lack of eye liner, & eye stripe.I just remembered that my OEGB cockerels had pullet coloring at that age. I wouldn’t say they’re 100% pullets, yet.

The second cockerel had strong eye liner. There was black in the breast, but it was mostly silver. I did already know at this age that both were cockerels (based on comb growth).
