Male or Female Please

[Crazy for Chickens!]

Looks like a cockerel. I see the tail starting to curve like a male, some saddle feathers starting to get pointy, large legs, and an upright stance. Sorry!!

I'm not seeing any pointy hackle or saddle feathers. I think it could be a tom girl/pullet

I'm liking the 50/50 of the responses. It's giving me hope that she might be a girl!

No worries, thank you very much for your analysis. I have an opportunity to offload him on the 26th. He has one week left to prove to me that he is a boy or a girl.

Do you see spurs?

Do you see spurs?

No I can't see any. From what age do those appear?

It's not the best way to tell as I guess some hens could have them as well but in my experience my roosters have had spurs and hens have not.

Color on the wings indicates partridge gene. A solid black chest on a partridge colored bird is a sure indicator of a male. He's just a bit young for obvious males saddle feathers. Also, the photos aren't the greatest quality.

You can't tell gender by spurs. All chickens have the little nubs, and the roosters will be full grown when they start growing.

Mine roosters grew spurs at about 3-4m none of my chickens have had spurs i know it's no a definite approach but that with other indicators could help her decide.
