Astralorp mix 12/13 weeks gender?

Update 3 weeks later
Jack's comb grew a lot more than previous. Now he/she is bigger than my rooster. I think the neck picture shows pointing neck hackles. At least when I compare Jack to "boring fluffy" in the background of the first 2 pictures.

So is she a she or is he a he?

At 15/16 weeks I'd expect significant male saddle feathers on an Australorp cockerel. So pullet.
Are these saddle feathers @3KillerBs ? They seem to come to a point. I really think he is a cockerel. Our main rooster crowed, but he is just as bossy, just as big and scares me.

Yes, those are male saddle feathers.
