Liege fighter chick - cockerel?😭

This looks like the beginnings of male specific feathering to me. The bird is blue birchen and a female of that color should not have those silvery feathers in the saddle area. In my opinion it's a cockerel. The comb is large for its age, too.

Ok so it was not just me who though that those were the beginning of male-specific feathering

I think they meant male-specific color leakage. Which would be the gold. But I also think I'm seeing what would be the beginning of male-specific feathers, but it might just be my eyes

I see what you mean now! My Easter Egger pullet, April, has golden leakage on her hackles, so I assumed that a few strands of golden feathers in the saddles would not mean anything either.
