Basically the color, I think a CM would be much lighter in color and pattern, but if it's a mix it could be pretty much anything too.

7 Weeks, I'd say Cockerel most likely with that much development going on.

It's only a guess but I'd place wages on an Olive Egger Cockerel. Pretty bird no matter what breed.

100% cockerel, no doubt about it.

Cockerel and not a BR, here is our BR Pullet at 4wks for comparison. Not the best photo, but I think you can see the difference.

Color is throwing me off on this one, I think I see the start of male saddle's coming in, but I can't be sure. I'm 60/40 right now on this one being a cockerel, but boy I could be completely wrong too.

I agree 100%!

Depends on the age. Comb and wattles are pretty red, and legs look rather large, so if this is a young bird, I'm leaning cockerel, and older bird would change my opinion most likely.

How old are we talking? The BR does look like a Cockerel, double barring, but I've seen late maturing females have a lighter coloration too.

I agree, 6,7,10,15 all seem to lean cockerels if they are 8 weeks old, my experience is that the pullets do mature quick, but nothing with that size of comb and color at 8 weeks.

Would you be able to get a better photo of the top and sides of the 1st EE, pattern looks ok but I can't determine coloration, a good set of photos would help me help you.

EE cockerel for sure. Handsome guy he is though.

Cockerel, no doubt about him, pretty chicken.

Any idea on age? Coloration seems to be off, making me think Cockerel depending on the age of this bird.

1 definite cockerel, but the one with the red comb could be your 2nd, the next to last pic is your pretty boy.
