Pullet or Roo?

Hi, this is my bird JYN It is a wyandotte partridge Pretty positive this is the breed. Do you think this is male or female. We can not have males in our city. She hasnt crowed but has green feathers. It is between 3-4 months old. What are your thoughts?

He’s a cockerel. He has a black chest which only males of that colour have.

Okay thank you. I was hoping he was a female because he was our favorite. He was our baby.

Aw I’m so sorry. I’d love to keep the boys I hatch too but they all find good homes where they can crow until their hearts content

Cockerel, but because of the comb and wattle size given the age, not because of the green sheen on his feathers. All birds with black feathers get that, no matter the sex.
