9 week old Olive Egger hen or roo?

Hi,

Carol was supposed to be a pullet but a lot of people on another forum are telling me that Carol is a roo. What do y'all think? I'm new to this and would appreciate any input. Also if you could let me know why you think one way or another it would really help me to learn. Thanks!

He's a cockerel.

Oh, and the reason I think so is because of the large, red comb and wattles. At 9 weeks, a pullet's comb and wattles would be small and pale.

Cockerel. A pullet shouldn't have that much comb or wattle development until they are close to POL (point of lay).
