Hey loves!

I'm a new chicken mom, to our baby we named Milo...

About 8 weeks ago a Chicken Hawk dropped a new born chick at our feet.
The rest is history, was love at first sight.

For awhile I thought Milo was a pullet... just from the way the feathers grew.
The wings developed first, doubling the body size, and then the tail.

This week the comb has started growing quickly (I do live in a tropical climate, idk if that has something to deal with it, as we approach the hotter months.)

And this morning I swear after the husband left for work at 6am the chick tried to crow, but hasnt since then.

Now I'm confused.

Is Milo, our new baby, a pullet or cockerel?
Regardless the little one is completely loved.

Just curious on what others with experience (being I have none) think the sex may be?

Also not sure if Milo is a Black Australorp, or Sex Link... shoot maybe even a different breed .

Thank you for any advice, guidance and input.
Its greatly appreciated.

Don't know about the sex, but looks like it could be a Maran to me.

Thank you!
I do think he has some black Maran in him.

After a few weeks we learned he is definitely a rooster. Crowing was a dead giveaway lol.

Hard to say. Either way they're lucky they found you and if it is a rooster it'll still make a great pet. My friendliest chicken is my rooster lol

It's been answered.
They know it's a cockerel.
It's crazy how he got to you though.
He seems to get on well with the dog.
