Hello! New chick mom here. This sweet thing is around 7 weeks old. When it was two weeks old we assumed it was a pulley based off wing length and shape, as well as its tail feathers. Well today it crowed 🫣😆 two questions:
1. What breed am I? It came from a pullet rainbow run.

2. Am I a cockerel or pullet?

First photo is at 1 or 2 weeks old. Others at 6 weeks.

Looks like a pullet to me. No pointy hackle or saddle feathers (probably wouldn't show at 6 weeks anyway), no color in the comb or wattles, very horizontal carriage. If this is a cockerel, it hasn't started puberty yet.

I agree with @LaurenRitz . Looks like a pullet so far. It’s still young though so anything goes. Are you confident it was this one that crowed?
 
Yes, looks like an EE pullet. Pictures are kind of blurry, but I would be very surprised if that turned out to be a cockerel.
 
Current photos. Presumably around 7 weeks old.
