Pullet or Roo Whiting True Blue

[EntirelyAmy]

Never had this breed before and although it was sold as a pullet, all it seems very Roo to me. Anyone have any expert insite as to the gender? If its a roo, He needs a new home. THanks! It is 8 weeks old. THe comb is quite red and the color on the wings is a rust brownish color.

How old? Is that coloring on the wings reddish or brown? In many breeds, copper coloring on the wings is a male trait. I don't see any pointy saddle or hackle feathers, though.

Pullet. The tail feathers are droopy and the comb is tiny!

Not too familiar with the breed as I personally never had it. Just my opinion. Could be facts though?

Possibly a male, based on that reddish coloration and the redness of the face. If you see any long, pointy feathers developing around the shoulders or the base of the tail, it's a roo. (If people agree or disagree on points, please let me know. I'm trying to get better at sexing birds!)

I believe you have a little cockerel.

Did you figure it out? Looks like a cockerel to me as well.

Definitely a cockerel.
That pattern screams cockerel.
