can anyone tell me if this is a boy or a girl ive been told if the breast has any black in it its a boy

the comb and wattles popped out so early I was afraid it was a boy it was bought as a feed store sexed pullet. I got a male delaware out of the pullets at the same time but the wellie confuses me I dont know their feathering growth patterns that well.
Appears to be a cockerel.....it can take a bit for the black feathers to start filling in on the chest.....but that comb/wattle combination is what gives it away at that age.
Here is a comparison of 7 week old birds.....pullet on the left, cockerel on the right. Note the difference in the comb/wattle development.
