My BO pullet at 17 weeks still has no red in her comb and wattles. Roo.

I wouldn't give up hope yet. It looks iffy to me.

Not iffy at all. There are stringy, shiny saddle feathers hanging off the sides of that one, Fluffy, m'dear. No false hope, please, LOL.

I see a lot of saddle feather, which is a giveaway, Rooster

I know everyone is saying roo, but I think she is a hen. I have 5 BO (4 hens & 1 roo) & this one looks JUST like my hens! They all have the wattles & good size combs. The roo has MUCH bigger wattles & comb! So, hen is my guess.

That's a cockerel. Saddle feathers coming in, hackle feathers, tail shape, comb/wattles all equal cockerel.

It hasn't crowded yet?
I though roosters crowed by 10-12 weeks.

Not always. I have one that didn't crow until he was 6 months old.

Anyways, that's definitely a roo. Look at those feathers!
