What breed and gender?

[Jgrice]

Any guesses as to breed and gender?

Male. I’m thinking Easter Egger.
Just to be sure, how old?

The reason I’m unsure if it’s a rooster is because it’s 6 months old. Doesn’t seem as developed as a rooster would be, but I don’t know

Agree with above, though I can not really see the comb type in the photo.

Mixed breed cockerel.

At 6 months old, that could be a pullet getting ready to lay.

I don't see pointy saddle feathers, which would be a sure sign of a male.

You've listened for crowing and looked for eggs, right? Because either of those could answer the question

Breed is likely Easter Egger (wanna-be Ameraucanas that usually but not always lay blue or green eggs.)

Breed could be some other cross or mix, but Easter Egger seems most likely. The beard rules out most other common breeds and crosses. For example, it's not a Rhode Island Red or Red Sexlink, because those would not have a beard.

Huh. I’m still thinking cockerel. Those red wing feathers are pretty prominent.

 

[The Happster]

He's just extremely slow developing.

I have no doubt he is male.

Agreed, male Easter Egger. With the red coming in on his shoulders it is unmistakable.
