Pullet or cockerel?

[Edahlinger]

This is my 7 week old “olive egger”. Is it a pullet or a cockerel? It doesn’t have any wattles and it’s comb isn’t red yet. All of my other roosters that are the same age but different breed are very red at this point. Thanks!

He's a cockerel!

Agreed!

That’s not the answer I was hoping for . Thanks!

Could you please explain why you say this?? For educational purposes lol. I’m always trying to get better at this, and I’d have guessed pullet. What sticks out as defining cockerel characteristics?

The large comb for a 7 week old bird.

Ah. I guess that just didn’t seem very “large” to me now I’m worried all my BCM are cockerels here’s Percival, one of my BCM cockerels at 7 weeks:

And Hazel, one of his hatch mates at the same age (who I’ve obviously assumed is a pullet lol)
