How old is it? Looks like a pullet.

. Is this a roo or hen?

Definitely a pullet. A rooster would have a larger, redder comb and wattles and would be lighter in color.

Umm her back tail feathers are a little curled does that mean she is a rooster? And what are signs of laying eggs?

 

[landrygracie0]

She is about 16-17 weeks old or a little older, are you sure she is not a rooster her back tail feathers curl a little does that mean anything

 

[Stiggy]

no, her tail feathers are natural, if she was a he then they would be much longer and curled in a sickle shape hence sickle feathers

 

[landrygracie0]

They are curled a little though
