Lohmann pullet or cockerel?

[SusieChickP]

Hi All, we have had a small flock of hens for about 5 years now and have introduced a few new ones over the years. We got 3 new pullets on Friday, but the Lohmann (picture attached) has crowed both mornings I’ve let them out of the coop so I’m now unsure about gender. Any ideas? She has a funny tail as think he/she’s been pecked at a bit but my 8 year old took pity on her/him. Can’t really tell about saddle feathers as am a bit clueless what I’m looking for!

I think it looks like a cockeral... going by the neck feathers (hackles) that look pointy not rounded. And some pointed saddle feathers developing, plus the upright tail...

I could be wrong, but he looks like he'll be handsome fully grown and feathered

Thankyou SchmidtChicks and Mamatomany. I was suspecting as much but it’s so difficult to tell!! Great to have such knowledgeable folk on here, much appreciated!
