I'm new to raising chickens, but I could have sworn I head a crow coming from this one the other day. He/she is 15ish weeks old...what do you guys think

? Rooster or hen??
 
All boy. The signs are the bright red comb. Compare the color to your other pullets. He has the start of saddle feathers,( long skinny feathers that drape between the body and tail. Size! That's a big boy. Red patch on the wing is also an EE cockerel sign
 
Looks like a rooster to me. Check out the saddle feathers.

As a point of reference, roosters have these pointy feathers on their backs (saddle feathers). You can see the difference in feathering between my Easter egger cockeral on the left and my pullet on the right. They are the same age.
