The age old question - pullet or cockerel?

[AMC5]

Hello All!

Hoping the community can help me

Lavender Orpington ‘pullet’ here, but a few things have me second guessing. Wondering if the collective has a better idea than I do?

She’s 7.5 weeks old.

Thoughts?

Those saddle feathers are suspicious...

Agreed! That was the first ‘sign’ I saw that got me wondering

Pullet. Lav orps are such early combers that this one would have much more comb if it was a cockerel. The saddles look pointy, but are actually round and just displaying the shredder gene.

I don't think that's a cockerel.
