Everyone is 50/50 on whether this is a pullet or cockerel 😂

I don't know if this will help, but here is a 12 week old EE that is kind of similar in coloring for comparison. It is now 3 years old. What do you think "it" turned out to be?

My first guess is hen, but that's also a pretty red comb! So. Roo?

Idk my first batch of chickens my aunt who owned chickens forever said that the one who is a rooster was a hen from his pale face and the rest were roosters and I still think it’s funny that my 3 “roosters” are laying eggs while my only “hen” is the father of them all

I can usually tell by the looks in their eyes and yours screams hen but I could be wrong

Oh and when my best layer was like 6 weeks old she would cock fight with my real rooster

See, I think she's/he's got crazy eyes

It does crow and after way too much thought in my opinion it is what yours is as well.

That's been what I've been thinking too. I appreciate your input! Ours hasn't crowed yet.

Which is one of the reasons I think yours is a pullet.

I said mine crowed, but I didn't say it is a rooster. She is now a 3 year old hen who crows. She also mounts other birds at times. But, she is very much a hen and lays a beautiful blue egg.

The color of the comb on yours is about right for the age. I don't see any saddle feathers starting. You could spread the feathers so you can look to see if any are starting, though. The red that Kiki mentioned, I think is more a brown. The legs do look thick in one picture, but others not so much. You haven't heard any attempts at crowing, yet. I say pullet.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood your last message.

We have an older hen who crows every morning
