LADY Pumpkin?!

[ChickenTenderKesha]

I'm going to take a shot and say cockerel because I think I'm seeing saddle feathers starting to show in the last photos you sent. Any chance we can get a close up of the saddle area for conformation? I'm seeing the single shade lighter/shinier feathers as Pumpkin's saddle feathers. Unless I'm wrong then somebody please tell me

edit to say I am NOT a chicken expert in any way I'm going off of things I've learned over the past little bit

How can you be sure? Just when I think I've learned to play the Gender Guessing Game, something gets me stumped. Pumpkin is fairly small compared to his/her flockmates. Is he just a small docile boy that doesn't crow?

The comb. I’ve had my fair share of Wyandottes.

Not sure about the angle. Took this one for amusement earlier due to the angle of the leg.

What does the comb look like on a wyandotte pullet/hen? I've looked a bit online (Google images) but it wasn't helpful.

Any chance you can get a better close up of these feathers? These are what I’m talking about

I see what you mean. I'll try next time I head out. Those could be saddle feathers after all...

I had a cockerel pair that were hatched and raised together. One dominant and the other was in disguise to avoid the dominant one. He tool longer to crow, develop and act like a boy than the other. I say it looks like a rooster.

Pumpkin is hard for me to judge. Every time I think I've got it figured out, curve ball!

Pointed saddle feathers are male-specific.

Definitely a cockerel. He has pointed saddle feathers growing in. The saddles are the ginger shiny feathers next to his tail. Probably just a slow maturer.

No kidding Adam is obvious lol!

Thanks for venturing with me in figuring this out.
Adam and Pumpkin are my first wyandottes, so it's hard for me. Adam was so obvious...
