Male or female ?

So they are normal on pullets?
I guess😅 I believe they are usually more rounded, but those aren’t rooster feathers.

What about them?
The feathers themselves are rounded, the pattern (and possibly angle) are what's making them look pointy.

Male saddle feathers are pointy and narrow. These are not only too rounded, they are also too broad to be male saddle feathers. Plus this chick is a little on the young side. Male specific feathers usually don't start coming in until 12 weeks (which, if your chick is 70 days shouldn't be for another 2 weeks).
