They were born January 12th. We named this one "Pat" coincidentally. We have 10 all together and I am really unsure about this one.

I'm going with pullet, but I'd post pictures again in a few weeks to confirm.

Beautiful pullet!

Is this a pullet or cockerel?

 

[keesmom]

Cockerel.

 

[AmberLM]

And that's because of the tail feathers?

Yeah, his stringy saddle feathers give it away.

And I should add that while the saddle feathers are the most obvious with your cockerel, the hackle (neck) and sickle (tail) feathers are also male. And he has dark blue leakage on his wings. The comb is also too big for a female unless she is laying/POL.
