rounded saddle and hackle feathers, tail doesn't have any long strands. Looks like she should be laying soon if she hasn't already.

How old is this one? Her saddle feather do seem pointy.

Well, my first instinct is roo - saddle feathers starting to droop, look kinda pointy. But comb and wattles are no different than my BA Pullet at that age. My BA Roo was obvious by about 6 weeks old.

Looks like a boy to me.

Yeah I would say Roo. I had a 5 month RIR that we thought was a hen but then it started to grow long tail feathers and crow. Had a comb and wattles like a hen but your looks like mine did at about 4-5months.
