Sex of barnyard mix (8wk)

[Meni120]

Hello!

I have an 8 week old mix, I thought it was a pullet for the past couple of weeks due to its small pale comb, but it seems to be getting reddish patches on the shoulders and emerging saddles. It looks like it might be an Easter egger so I’m a bit confused. Any insight is appreciated!

Also it aggressively started attacking another one today, however their food container spilled sometime earlier today so they were probably a bit hungry. But it is very bold and despite being broody raised not afraid of people.

I believe from what I’ve read that that color leakage indicates cockerel.

All else looks like a pullet to me.

Behavior isn’t going to be a great indicator.

Cockerel it has three rows of peas in his comb, and red leakage.

Thanks everyone, I see it now. Must be slow developing. Well that makes things a bit difficult

Sorry it worked out that way.

Hope you can figure keeping/rehoming/ other options without too much issue.

Good luck.
