Pulley or cockerel

[Jsam5]

I have an 8 and a half week old Easter egger that I bought as a pullet from a hatchery but I’m not so sure anymore. Thank you in advance for help!

Her comb in more pink than red it just looks very red in the picture.

For 8 weeks old, that is a lot of comb and color. By around 12 weeks the saddle feathers (if male) will become more apparent. You could take another pic from the side, while bird is standing and get the wattle growth in the pic too. Seeing size, posture, legs and wattle growth are additional pieced of the gender puzzle.

I just checked their hatch date and they are 9 weeks old instead of 8

I'm thinking cockerel

I’m leaning male too. However, if male he shouldn’t crow until closer to 16 weeks or later. So you can keep for a bit and you’ll know for sure in a few weeks.
