Lower back has slightly droopy saddle feathers. Tail has sickles extending longer than the tail... Crest is full and round. Large comb. Long neck feathers... I'm still going for male
I need close ups of face and tail.

If everyone else says boy then I know I'm in denial for sure!
.. I'll take some more pics tomorrow...
Just the pullet like behaviour turns me towards pullet and the extra fluffy crest I can't see the large comb without pulling back the crest.

Streamers, tail, wing colour pattern, comb.....

I know about denial. Trust me, I'm there too with a couple of mine!

Don't go on behaviour at all. I've got a serama who is definitely a boy. He has a cockerel tail, comb, wattles, sickles and hackles. But he is submissive, isn't crowing, and his brothers mount him.

Maybe he identifies as a hen?

Hey this isn't really related to this thread but... How are seramas? I'm in a bit of a pickle between d'uccles and seramas. Are yours tame, friendly?

This little sweet fluff-mystery
Those long thin feathers showed so well in the first picture coming down from the neck (I'm sorry Idon't know how they are called) 'till over the shoulders - all my cockerells do have them (Kasimir included of course ) but none of the girls.
I'm still wondering about Easter's feet - they are so tiny compared to the feet of my cockerells, even James who is tiny does have big feet compared with Easter's.
