It's me again! 🤦‍♀️
I've posted about this one before, and unanimously got that she was a pullet. I'm confident for a month or so and then I start to question it! 😬
Ginger is 10 weeks old. Her comb and wattles are much bigger than the other girls', but she doesn't really "act" like a boy? I feel like she's the dominant one now that we got rid of the two that were definitely boys but not really standing up with her chest out like they did. I dunno...she's a bit bigger than the others too.
Do these look like cockerel saddle feathers coming in?

Cockerel.

You won't see pointed saddle feathers until 12-16 weeks. Usually closer to the 16 week side of that scale.

Male. 95% sure. Here’s my Orp at Melody at 10 weeks.

ETA: 100% sure. Those are saddle feathers, and they never lie. Plus that comb. I’m sorry.
