Pullet or cockerel. 10 weeks old.

He's a cockerel. He has some pretty clear masculine traits visible in these recent shots, yes including those hackle feathers. Females just don't get those sort of stringy, glossy hackle feathers he has regardless of breed.

Welp, lookes like he’s dinner then.

I agree!

I too think he looks like a cockerel.

Alright the case is solved, 3 males 5 females is what I ended up with.

I’ll go get some pictures real quick, also the white male has just begun the mating process.. And the only laying hen I got in there with them, just whent broody. Ive got two eggs under her. So this will be interesting. If they hatch we get to play “guess the father” (all males are still in this pen. Only two options though, the orpinton, or the leghorn. The other leghorn male is still too young)

Here we have older sister protecting momma and her eggs. Or just anoying her.

Sorry about how blurry they are. They are very active.

I have to show off this little emo one

Egg two under the broody got cracked (lightly, probably not going to develop but I left it there anyways) .. so only one viable egg. (This allways happens with this hen) the egg is only on day one, so not much to do. I moved the hen to the brooder just to make sure the other egg does not crack. Tuesday will be day three and the day I should see some development. (Light brown eggs nearly white)
