Ya, no denying the saddle feathers. I think they even look more colorful, yet another indicator.Very obvious male feathers though. Look at the back - long, stringy saddle feathers. Crazy crest. Hackle feathers are male as well. Can't see the sickle feathers in the pictures, though.


So far 3 out 3 were boys.
I didn't notice waddles on the one you were hoping to be a pullet though...
