I’m guessing Turken rooster and Easter Egger hen (green legs.) what do you think? Thanks!
 
I still have much to learn. I thought for sure the Easter Egger was a pullet/hen! What are the determining characteristics?
They both have male specific feathering.
The blue line points to the long pointed saddle feathers of a rooster.
The pink line points to the rounded saddle feathers of a hen.

Agree with above. If you look at your picture, zoom in and you can see the pointy saddle feathers just before the black tail feathers. They drape on either side of the tail. His are a white/cream colored with a little black running in it.
