Calling all Cochin Experts! Pullet or Cockerel?

Thanks, everybody, for the replies so far. I don't see any pointy saddle or hackle feathers, either, but this one has a different comb from my other cochin, who I'm pretty sure is a girl, and slightly more wattle action. The body shape on this bird seems a little longer and less round than the other.

I guess I'll know for sure when (s)he crows or lays an egg.
 
Pullet!! My cochins all have pretty big combs and wattles, they are about 22 wks. The Roos comb and wattles are HUGE!!! I have 6 cochin hens and they are all between 17 and 22 wks. I have two that are supposed to be the same age and there is a big discrepancy between their waddles and combs. I think it depends on the bird. I also have two hens that have the same dark red combs/waddles but one has a much longer and rounder body shape than the other.
