Pullet or cockerel

Thank you!! This is our first go round with chickens so we have no idea how to identify male or female
The surest sign is to look at the saddle feathers.

Another one is coloring. Females tend to have smoother coloring where males will have blotchier coloring (Splash chickens don't count) red on the breast, shoulders, and wings in a breed that isn't all red is a male trait.
