Olive Egger, Cockrel or pullet?

[BlessedmamaAELE]

Estimated about 8-10 weeks. (I have had for 6 weeks) Acts pullet and doesn’t really have saddle feathers but wasn’t sure because of comb and waddle.

That's a cockerel. At 8-10 weeks of age that comb and wattle size/color won't be on a pullet. He doesn't have saddle feathers yet but in a few weeks you'll see them start to come in as those are usually more in the 12wk+ range

Thank you! That’s what i was thinking! But hoping he wasn’t! Haha! But he’s a keeper for sure!

Thank you! He is gorgeous! And my favorite chicken. I have a few cockerels and can only “keep” one or 2. He’s going to be sticking around.
