Hen or rooster? Thanks for your time

it looks like a hen to me

EE\Light Brahma hen. Reminds me of this Australian chicken I've seen but can't remember what it was called. It might have been a mix too though.

How old is she?

JUST turned 12 weeks. I assume hen also, she hatched HUGE compared to her hatch mates, since day 1 out of egg she was so much larger and thicker. I was questioning is she was a lil cockerel because she acts like one! She is very much the leader of all the grow outs - and loves to flare up her neck and spar with the cockerels. She is spicy, follows me and allows me to pick her up and bring her around but she bites my hand (not hard) EVERY TIME i do.

I also assume EE/Light Brahma hen - she comes from eggs by a friends flock - and she has both EE & Light Brahmas on her property.

At 12 weeks, the size and color of the comb say cockerel to me. There is no male specific feathering yet, but I think it will come.

I agree

Definitely male. A pullet with a comb that big and red would be laying any day now. At 12 weeks, that chick's all boy. 12 weeks is when male specific feathering  starts coming in, so a lack of pointy saddle feathers does not indicate gender in this case.

Yeah I have to agree that it's a cockerel. My peacomb pullets didn't get red comb like that until at least 17/18 weeks and right before they started laying. All my peacomb cockerels were red like yours at 12 weeks.
The red comb combined with him sparring with the other cockerels tells me he's most definitely a rooster. I've never witnessed a pullet spar with a cockerel at that age.
