Is this welsummer a rooster or pullet?

It's a cockerel.

It's a cockerel.

Thanks for the reply, that was what I thought, but I’d be curious on how you tell.

Comb and wattles overall, and the black chest feathers are a dead giveaway for this breed. Hens and roosters are feathered very differently!

I am not very familiar with this breed, but my girls really like their little Wely. Thanks for the reply.

I agree, cockerel.

Pullets look like the middle bird, their chest feathers are golden, not black.
