Not much of a comb,but with the red shoulder's and tail feather's and just overall stance he looks like a cockerel to me!

We got 7 of them they were supposed to be pullets, but this ones tail and comb is making me question the gender? Even though the comb isn't to big it is bigger then the other 6.

Your right to question him, those tail feather's scream rooster! His comb might be on the small side for a cockerel his age(I wouldn't be surprised if that's why he was mistaken for a pullet)but rest assured you have a boy.Has he started to crow yet?

I haven't heard him crow yet, but am guessing I will be hearing it soon!

I agree that the tail feathers say cockerel.

I’m on the fence. It could be a cockerel with the patchy red coloring and the long tail feathers but I have seen the exact tail feathers on pullets before. With the small comb and lack of redness it looks very much like a pullet. Wait until you get an egg or it crowd to be sure.

I think it's a cockerel but give it the benefit of a doubt and wait a bit longer to be sure.
