He or she...mixed breed

[MountainMomma359]

So this chick is now about 11 weeks, is most likely a black copper maran x gold wyandotte mix and when I got it at around 6 weeks had no comb or waddle development. I know he/ she has a lot of development now but what I'm wondering is if yall see any other male traits? I can't tell hackle feathers well to begin with-i feel like even female hackles are pointy. So, experts, do we see male feathering yet?

@TheOddOneOut What do you think?

Cockerel.

Also wrong comb type for that crossing.

I'm torn, I don't really see guy feathers and the body and stance don't seem male but that's a lot of comb...

The guy only had a few types and the only dark ones were those. He thought it was all bcm.
Do you see hackle or sickle feathers yet?

The Golden patches on his shoulders are the giveaway, & pointy hackles are coming in, plus the amount of comb, & wattles that are present.

Thanks...being new at this I was struggling since it's a mix especially.

It's a modified pea comb. More obvious in the first pictures. Wyandottes have rose combs, though some hatchery quality stock Wyandottes with throw single combed birds, but never pea combs.

Ugh I have no idea then.... he had buff brahma, orphingtons, barred rock, black maran, GL and SL wyandotte and that was pretty much it. Most of his birds are buff.
