Project bird - mixed breed. Just hit 11 weeks

[U_Stormcrow]

Legs and comb say male to me - particularly when compared to the rest of the hatch - redder and more pronounced comb, wattles, thicker legs at the age I'm not seeing a clear saddle, however.

Color, dominant white, is something I'm culling out of the project. Weight of 3 lb 4 oz is disappointing at this age too, particularly if its a male. Before I dispatch, can I get some eyes on this??? (Sorry about the pose, I was weighing him/her at the time)

I am going to say cockerel based on comb/wattles at 11 weeks. I THINK I see some saddles coming in, but difficult with white birds and also just shy of the age these usually show up.

Confirming, now that I've seen HIS insides.

and after further inspection of the third picture, I've convinced myself that this little group of feathers was turned and pointy(er) - the start of saddle.
