12 wk OE - Hen or Roo

[Crazychickenlady05]

I thought this one was a pullet, however, I am getting some conflicting opinions. It is 12 weeks old, dad is BCM, mom is EE of some sort. Hackles feathers have a pointed pattern to them, but are physically rounded. Any input is appreciated!

Cockerel.

Cockerel.

Agreed. Those iridescent feathers coming in tells a "tail" in my opinion. Probably going to be a nice handsome Roo though.

Cockerel, any bearded roos I've ever had seem to have slow comb growth like that

That’s a cockerel. He has a very large comb and I think I see some nice hackle feathers coming in.

I want to update this thread in case someone else runs into a similar question. This one is actually an egg-laying hen. I will attach an updated photo. Thanks all!
