The mystery continues! Really hoping for a nice egg in the bin soon! That will tell me for sure! ...or a cock-a-doodle-doo and a very peeved neighbor Haha

That's a pullet 100%. At 16 weeks she would have male specific feathers. She's just close to laying.

Thanks!

If there’s no rooster feathers, that’s a pullet

Hoping she’s just a well-endowed pullet in the facial area ! She/he is stunning! I would really love to keep her. She has always been the most friendly and comical of the bunch. We can’t have roosters where we live, unfortunately. Every day I check the nesting box anxiously!

It's gotta be a pullet.
The body and face says cockerel.
But she should have cockerel feathering by now.
Can I have a photo of the back?

If she's that old it's definitely a pullet. A cockerel would have noticeable male specific feathers by now.

You have an early maturing girl.
Would definitely be some cockerel feathering by now, and I can see none at all.

Have to say - that's a huge comb for a 16 week pullet.
