Welsumer pullet or roo

[Wendy_Dutchie]

What do you think?

I am still hoping for a pullet but probably against my better judgment... The chick is 7,5 weeks old.

Would love your opinions.

For those who say cockerel, what are the markers you see on this bird?

(I have a three week old welsummer, so watching this thread with interest )

It has a male color patteren. Females get a partridge patteren, and males get that darker patteren.

Male welsummers have a black chest. Females have a salmon one. That's a cockerel.

At that age, it looks rather like a little cockerel to me.

Definite cockerel.

Sorry but it's a little cockerel.

Thanks for all your replies! I kind of knew but hoped for someone to say they had doubts. I had to help him get hatched and it took him two days. Every time I tried to get him out the inner layer would start to bleed but at the same time it was so dry. So it was kind of a miracle he survived. Too bad I have to find him another home

That's very unfortunate.
He is very cute, though.
