Prarie Bluebell - Hen or Rooster

[Foltzy37]

Hello. I bought this Prarie Bluebell from Family Farm & Home about 8 weeks ago. I know they can look unique and I am not the most educated for sexing...but I am convincing myself more and more that she is a rooster. Thoughts?

Pullet, aka hen!

Leaning cockerel. The feather pattern is very masculine, but the comb is still small. I'd update again in a few more weeks.

Cockerel. He's already growing sickle tail feathers.

Appreciate the feedback! My other prarie bluebell has zero comb. And this one is very pink faced compared to the rest of our pullets (different breeds).

It could just mean she is closer to laying than others.

The bird is only 8 weeks old. Most breeds don't start laying until 20 weeks old.

Cockerel. He's going to be beautiful when he grows up.

Oh I didn’t see they were only 8 weeks. Then yes probably cockerel. Looks like it could be like 16 weeks!

Thank you all!
We are able to accommodate a rooster so not a bad surprise
