Mainly that saddle feathers appear to be developing.

Thank you!!

You're welcome.

The things that show that he is a cockerel are his large, red comb, his muscular build, and the beginnings of male specific feathering in his saddle area. He will soon develop the long, narrow and pointed feathers that roosters have in the area, plus the curving sickle feathers on his tail.
