What gender is this?

[Painted Calls]

I'm not seeing any narrow feathers with pointy ends.

I'm only seeing feathers with rounded ends, which is what you find on adult females, and on chicks of either gender.

I do think this bird is male (based on comb and wattles), but I don't think he's grown any male-specific saddle feathers yet.

Look closer. White birds are tough, but there's a few there. Which is CRAZY because of his age. Probably also why there's only a few and they're not very long yet.

I agree with this
