this “pullet” looks suspect.. please help!

so for a bit of background... 2 years ago i got 6 chicks from a woman i found on craigslist... bad idea i know... i was told it was 1 rooster and 5 hens. welp not true i ended up with 6 roosters. i loved all of them to death and they were all extremely friendly roosters and got along ok. now i’m down to 2 due to them refusing to sleep together and roosting up in trees. i found them dead with their heads missing in the morning which was devastating. so now that i have two i decided to go and get some hens. i bought 12 chicks from tractor supply back in august. all we’re supposed to be pullets. but now that they are about 8 weeks old one of my speckled sussex pullets looks more like a cockerel. it doesn’t have much of a tail compared to the other 2 speckled sussex and it’s comb is larger and pinker and it has the beginning of wattles coming in. i will attach some pictures of the chick in question tell me what your opinion is! thank you!

Any pictures of the saddle feathers? Unsure for now, but I would keep an eye on it.

what’s the saddle feathers mean? this is only my second time getting chicks so i’m still a bit of a newbie at it

 

[sammyrenny]

it’s hard to get pictures of the chick since they don’t like me very much lol i’m aiming at a moving target.

this is my other two speckled sussex for comparison.

You won't see pointed saddle feathers on a cockerel at 8 weeks old. They don't start to come in until around 13 to 15 weeks.
That doesn't look like a SS. That comb is not red. I'm going with pullet.

I think he’s a cockerel. Due to comb growth and feather colouration.

Edited to remove some info.

they all looked exactly the same when they first came home and they all came out of the same bin but as they were growing that’s when i noticed a difference in the one. they were all supposed to be speckled sussex... the chick in question really don’t have much of a tail compared to my other two sussex. and it has more black in it and that fluorescent green like a mallard duck. if it’s a different breed but still a hen i’m fine with that i just don’t think having 3 roosters and only 11 hens would work.

I'm thinking pullet...
and here's what saddle feathers are:

that was what that chick looked like when i first brought it home. is that what an ancona looks like as a tiny chick? (it’s the brown one with the dark strip down it’s back)
