Do I have a surprise roo? 16 weeks old

[Painted Calls]

It is a cockerel, because of the long skinny saddle feathers… almost 100% sure

Click on the photos to enlarge. It's a pullet.

I didn't at first and the iridescence screwed with my eyes.

She’s a pullet.

Thank you everybody! Learning as I go. Yay to not having to rename my favorite pullet

Yep, it looks pointy from far away.

I thought I would come here to update with some wild news. I noticed that this chicken was growing spurs, I looked it up and found that it can be normal for hens to have spurs. She is an olive egger, as is only one other in my flock. Yesterday I found two olive eggs in the box, which solidified for me that the chicken in question is indeed a hen. This morning, one of my home security cameras captured a crow. Turns out I have a crowing hen with large waddles and spurs!
This is my first flock of chickens, but I understand this phenomenon to be uncommon. I read that hens like Willa may stop laying as they mature with their male attributes. I’m wondering if I brought home a rooster, if it would insure she continues to lay eggs.
Just for fun, here is a photo of the eggs I got yesterday and a link to the video where you can hear her crowing.
I enjoyed digging into posts like this while researching my new chicken hobby.

Is she still crowing? That's pretty interesting, but I did guess pullet initially too! Beautiful eggs though: I think her hormones were just out of wack

This is so interesting! I tried to click on your link to hear her crow, but it gave me a message saying it was no longer working. Can you give us an update? Is she still crowing? Is she still laying eggs?

Have any update pics of her? I have a hen that crows and she started as a pullet at around 7 months old.

Can you put you security camera in the coop if its mobile? Could you Olive Egger have said two eggs in one day? I know its uncommon, but possible. When I looked at those pics, I saw longish saddle feathers. They looked thin at first and almost pointed, but I think thats just the iridescence. Additional side pics can can help. What and interesting thread. She's got some wacky hormones going on hahahah!
