12 Week Easter Egger

[LavenderMotherHen]

Out of my 3 started pullets, this one gives me rooster vibes. Its feathers on its neck seem longer and stringy, it’s taller than the other two, and it has big thick legs. It’s not showing any rooster behavior though… Thoughts?

12 weeks old

More pics. He/she looks like a dinosaur compared to the others.

Can you get a better photo showing the comb? I can't say much based on feathering but there doesn't appear to be much going on in the comb department.

Here's one of my 8 week old EE boys, already has a fat red comb. His brother and other unrelated hatch mates have similar comb size/color and the brother of his is already crowing (just started a couple days ago at ~9 weeks). You can sorta see the brown frizzle's blur of a red comb in the background too, his is a bit bigger. I would expect to see more comb development in yours at 12 weeks if it were a roo. Could be wrong though!

Here’s the comb and wattle area

I vote girl, while the comb is getting pinkish that may just be due to it maturing as a hen. Not sure when the combs on young hens really start to color up and I'm sure it varies depending on breed, all I know is it happens as they get closer to laying age.

Color is throwing me off on this one, I think I see the start of male saddle's coming in, but I can't be sure. I'm 60/40 right now on this one being a cockerel, but boy I could be completely wrong too.
