looks like an australorp pullet, at 5 months if that was a rooster it would by crowing already and have all the roo feathers. australorp roos develop much faster then hens from my limited experience. heres some photos if any are of bad quality i apologize.
first one is a pic of larry curly and moe my 3 australorps when they were in the brooder larry the roo is in the back comb developed very early (white one is a cochin)
and heres one took last month of larry my roo australorp with 2 of my cochins
and theres larry again in the middle, the red birds are new hampshire reds i got right before spring hit ( for a size comparison)
and now some pics of the pullets that are the same age this girl is moe
and last but not least curly
as you can see the males develop much quicker and have very dominant traits that stick out like a sore thumb XD

beautiful big brown eggs, i believe the record for australorps is 364 eggs in 1 year, this was done by the creators of the breed which they bred these beautiful birds with the intent purpose of breaking world laying records and to be a good meat bird. good birds imho
