Yeah I'm not so sure either. Leg color is definitely off for starter. This is an odd bird for sure. Not a clear cockerel in The feather department if it is one. Not 100% convinced though

Thank you everyone, for all your replies!

I missed the part where it is crowing! Lol, that wouldn't be good for a pullet! On the back where the saddle feathers would be, can you part the feathers and see if you see pointy ones coming in? Maybe they are just really slow?

I haven't had a chance to catch him yet, but I finally heard him crow myself yesterday so I'm afraid I have my answer already. He has been a slow-maturing boy, though.

That there's a cockerel, I can see the pointy saddles JUST starting to come in. Look at the dark blue ones. Plus he's got some good size legs... and hens might... but pullets don't usually "crow".

He's gonna be quite handsome as he matures.

He'd also be tasty!

Yeah, I was clinging to my last shreds of hope that he might be a she, but y'all are right. He will be quite handsome! I unfortunately can't keep him, and I'm vegetarian, so no freezer camp, either. The people I got him from said they'd gladly take him back and let him live there!

I'm actually not sure. I got Wyandotte from when I posted about my new birds a few weeks ago, asking about breeds and genders. I was told there that he seems to be a Wyandotte, but I personally am unfamiliar with the breed, so that may not be right.

Thanks for the info. But, I still don't think thats a Wyandotte. (Not saying you said it was.) Mine don't look like that at all.

That's because you're used to laced wyandottes. This is a different variety, a blue wyandotte.
