Definite rooster I think. You can see the sickle feathers coming in. Beautiful chicken!

Thank you for helping - we were REALLY hoping hen but thinking rooster. He’s been our favorite since the beginning.

I lean Cockrel. The redder coloring on the shoulder. I don’t see pointy saddle feathers and they should be starting to show at 12-13 wks. I would part the feathers on the mid to low back area and look for them to be sure.
Beautiful bird
