Buff Orpington; Pullet or Roo?

[hicksfamily]

This is Stella (aka Stewart). He/she is about 11-12 weeks old. I am not sure if I should post an ad for Stella yet, and I would appreciate everyone's opinions about gender. He/she is a Buff Orpington.

Nice looking bird.

I am guessing pullet, as roosters usually get a red comb around 10 weeks of age.

My young orpington rooster

I say pullet, she doesn't look anything like my BO rooster. He looked like a rooster and acted like a rooster when just weeks old.

Its a hen at that age a pullet would have a bigger crown.

Both hens and pullets are females. Hen is the name of a female over a year old and pullet is the name of a female under a year old. On the same page rooster is a male over a year old and cockerel is a male under a year old
