Pekin, definately a pullet?

[Elliebeans]

I've got this 17 week old Pekin Bantam pullet up for sale and I want to confirm 100% she is a girl. The breeder showed me a male from her hatch and you could really see the difference. I guess I'm just being paranoid but I want to be sure. No crowing obviously, she's a bit bossy but otherwise acts like a female.

I think she's a female but I'll tag some others to help also. @21hens-incharge @DiYMama540 @Wyorp Rock @pekinsnchickens @PekinMama4

Do you have a side picture of the saddle feathers? I’m learning toward cockerel.

Oh boy...I'm not good at this at all LOL
I'm thinking pullet, but I'd like to see what others say.

At 17 weeks...I'm pretty sure you've got a lovely Bantam Cochin (or Pekin) hen.

The roosters of that breed really show by 3 months and by 4 months would have double the size of that comb and wattles and some pronounced saddle.

She looks close to lay....or brooding....whichever comes first.

My thoughts.

I think he looks like a cockerel. Aren’t those pointed saddle feathers in the photo? The comb and wattles also look suspicious.

Found this photo from the back for saddle feathers.
