Wyandotte pullet or Cockerel?

[Bob c]

Newby here. same story as last thread. Bought each my girls a chick which we were assured were hens. What do you think, is Strawberry Shortcake a boy or girl? About 4 months old.

At 5 months that's a pullet who is sexually maturing, and should start laying soon.

Do these feathers look like the start of a saddle??? I Cockerel?

Sadly, those do look like the start of saddle feathers, so I guess you have a cockerel on your hands

I was afraid of that. Thanks for responding. Would you say it's 100% a Cockerel at this point?
