12 week amerecauna (mix?!)

This chicken is 12 weeks old. I cannot figure out if it's a rooster or hen. Thoughts?

Cockerel, without a doubt.

I'd guess cockerel, it seems to be getting pointed hackle and saddle feathers, when I enlarge photo. Also looks like two rows of peas(comb). Can't tell if it has feathered legs. One foot looks like it the other does not.

That's unfortunate! Was hoping it was just a big hen. There are feathers on the feet

Cockerel - and , yes, a mix.

Was hoping it was a large hen. He's my favourite

Unfortunately that's usually how it works out, but the three row comb that is already well colored, the leakage on the wingbows and emerging male saddle feathers all tell the tale.
