Hi everyone! I had a thread up a couple of weeks ago wondering what my chick was. A few responses said to wait a few weeks and post new pictures bc the chicks was still too small to tell. I just took new pictures the comb has gotten slightly bigger and saddle feathers are coming in. Please tell me what you think! I already have 2 roosters and it’ll kill me but i can’t have a 3rd

Cockerel. The glossy, long, and pointed feathers on his back and saddle are a clear clue

about 10 weeks now maybe a little older. i don’t know what exact age they were when i got them but i’ve had them for 9 weeks now.

my gut says cockerel. i was just hoping i’m wrong. personality wise when i go in there pen he runs over and runs behind me when i walk around just like my big rooster i have. the other chicks run away from me.
