Thank you this is really helpful!Just for comparison, this is my 11 week old pullet Orpington and you can see how her back feathers are more short and round…they won’t be thin at all. Watch for the thinner feathers even if round at the end they will cascade over the sides as the grow in. Orps are SO slow to grow!
Yep, those are male saddles!I got better photos of what I am convinced are saddle feathers coming in, is this right? (For my own education)

Agreed!Yep, those are male saddles!
Thanks y’all. I obviously want to be TOTALLY sure this is a boy before I give him up and it seems like this is the proof I needed. An opportunity came up for him to go live on a big farm, so I’m gonna take it.Agreed!
