EE .. roo or hen?

[Little Chickadee]

Just under 14 weeks old. Really stuck. What do you think? At 10 weeks, consensus was that it was a roo.. at 12 weeks .. hen.. so trying now at 14 weeks. Have a good home lined up if it's a roo as we dont want two. If a hen , precious will stay.

So please help! Love you chicken peeps!

The comb and wattles are just too large for a 14 week pullet. He doesn't have saddle feathers yet that I see, so I think he is a late bloomer. But still male.

Precious was the runt if the eggs we hatched. And timid. Will still run full speed to mama if upset.

Was born with white comb and black tips. Was kinda disappointed when it started to turn color. Beautiful bird.

Was hoping to keep him but our ee/maran is a great rooster so he stays.

Thank you for your help.
