Of course she/he is my favorite. I'm new to chickens and have 3 BCM. This one is the only one with copper on its neck. No other copper on wings or tail. 12 weeks old. Hoping it's a hen so I can keep it. 😭 Any insights into sex?

BCM cockerels tend to show their gender on the early side in my experience.. closer to 5 or 6 weeks old, with regards to comb and wattle size and color as well as more color coming in. Gender specific saddle feathers would be just starting to develop after the 10-12 week mark, but I don't see any indicator of male specific saddle feathers coming in yet.

Looks like a pullet to me.
