It don't seem light enough for a roo, and the saddle feathers isn't showing well if it is, I'm saying pullet, I have a roo that is 17 weeks, and is way lighter with way more bars, I'm sticking to pullet

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

In Jesus name Amen :)

POL = point of lay...the age/time when a pullet is getting ready to lay her first egg.  Her comb and wattles will get bigger and redder.

I definitely have seen hens with combs that big. I think it is a POL pullet.
