Pullet or cockerel? 9 Week old (breed unknown- mixed)

[fmh]

Hi all,
I have a 9-week old chick and would like to see if anyone can figure out the gender. A chicken-knowledgable friend took a look at it a couple weeks ago and pointed out pointy neck feathers as being like a male (he gave the odds of 70% male/30% female), but since then the feathers have rounded out quite a bit. (In the photos, the colouring makes them look kind of pointy, but when comparing them to our other chick of the same age, that we are much more certain is male, they are much more rounded)

The breed is super mixed/unknown, but both the hen and rooster she came from are brown, likely with a good bit of Isa Brown in the mix. The other chick we hatched from the same rooster is white, but as far as I know, it is very unlikely they are sex-linked.

Thanks!!

Pullet, without a doubt. Looks like a Production Red to me, as well, but you say she's a crossbreed?

Production Reds breed true, so if your rooster & hen are both PR's so is this little pullet!

Definitely a mix. Not sure what the mom and dad are, but I think they're mixed too. If she's female, that's great..we only have space for 2 roosters, and so I didn't want to have to make anybody into soup.

Gotcha. Well, then, no need to pull the soup pot out for this one!
