pullet or cockerel?

This bird is an accidental cross with a Barred Rock hen and Ameriacauna rooster.
I’m thinking cockerel.
Anybody?

Indeed, he's a cockerel

Yup tailfeathers are putting on a _telltale_ show.

 

[Pigeony]

Yeah cockerel

Indeed, he's a cockerel.

I thought so because of the tail feathers but the feathers on the neck…..

It's a sex-linked crossing, so all males will have that barring due to it.

Genetics can be handy tool for sexing sometimes.
