A pullet will not get red in the comb until they are almost ready to lay eggs, usually around 14 to 18 weeks old. Any bird younger than 10 weeks is nowhere near egg laying age even if it was a super fast maturing hen. Comb reddening before 10 weeks is always a sure sign of a cockerel.

It's the comb and the rusty red feathers coming in on the shoulders.

Easter Egger cockerel.
