Agreed! Very handsome fellow!

1 and 3 are iffy but I'd lean Pullet, 2 is 100% pullet, #4 I'm saying Cockerel.

Basically the color, I think a CM would be much lighter in color and pattern, but if it's a mix it could be pretty much anything too.

7 Weeks, I'd say Cockerel most likely with that much development going on.

It's only a guess but I'd place wages on an Olive Egger Cockerel. Pretty bird no matter what breed.

100% cockerel, no doubt about it.

Cockerel and not a BR, here is our BR Pullet at 4wks for comparison. Not the best photo, but I think you can see the difference.

Color is throwing me off on this one, I think I see the start of male saddle's coming in, but I can't be sure. I'm 60/40 right now on this one being a cockerel, but boy I could be completely wrong too.

I agree 100%!

Depends on the age. Comb and wattles are pretty red, and legs look rather large, so if this is a young bird, I'm leaning cockerel, and older bird would change my opinion most likely.

How old are we talking? The BR does look like a Cockerel, double barring, but I've seen late maturing females have a lighter coloration too.

I agree, 6,7,10,15 all seem to lean cockerels if they are 8 weeks old, my experience is that the pullets do mature quick, but nothing with that size of comb and color at 8 weeks.

Would you be able to get a better photo of the top and sides of the 1st EE, pattern looks ok but I can't determine coloration, a good set of photos would help me help you.

EE cockerel for sure. Handsome guy he is though.

Cockerel, no doubt about him, pretty chicken.
