Here are some pics of our 15 week old BO. We have thought her to be a pullet but in the last two weeks her comb and wattles have has grown and are now triple the size of our other pullets (EE, Australorp,BR). EEEK! Please tell me she is just an early bloomer

What do you think- Pullet or Roo?

Kind of looks rooish to me. It's got a larger comb then my 1 yr old does by far. But I could be wrong. Good luck! I hope it's a girl and I don't see much for saddle feathers so who knows...back end look hen, comb end looks roo LOL I hope someone else can take a better guess.

My BO hens & pullets all have good size combs and wattles. I think its still safe to say pullet.

Edit: and their combs/wattles are larger than my Australorps too.

Looks just like my BO pullet. Their comb gets larger and redder around the time they start laying. I think you would see saddle and hackle feathers by 15 weeks old and your BO definitely doesn't have those.
