Rhode Island Red pullet or cockerel?

[Chickenclaw]

Hi,

My Rhode Island Red chicken that I bought a few weeks ago is starting grow grow out it’s tail. I’m starting to think it’s cockerel and not a pullet due to the tail feathers, except it’s comb is very small which would suggest that it’s a hen. What do you guys think?

How old? I am thinking pullet.

In my opinion it is a pullet.

She’s around 11-12 weeks old

I hope she’s a Pullet otherwise I can’t keep her. I’ve become quite attached to her and she is obsessed with corn.

Pullet. Tail means nothing at this age.

Tailfeathers are largely meaningless -- at least at young ages. It's saddle feathers that are diagnostic.
