I thought this satin cuckoo was a rooster because it developed so fast buuutttt....it's 4 months old and I don't see any pointed feathers.....opinions???

Even with no pointed saddle or hackle feathers?

I was thinking these look pointy, but maybe they would be more pointed at that age. I think roosters tend to develop slower. This is only my second time doing this, might be better to wait until one of the experts come on!

Gotcha, thanks for pointing that out! I'm open to everyone's opinions!

My first thought was pullet, because the saddle feathers are very round. I do see some suspicious feathers on its neck, though, and its comb is pretty red. I'd wait and see!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
