What about the pointy tail feathers? Have you ever seen a pullet or hen having them?No, but she/he appears like a pullet in my eyes. Of course, there's still a chance of it being a cockerel, with those bright red wattles and comb.
It is actually pretty common for pullets to have those pointy tail feathers, at least in my experience. They lose the pointy tail feathers when they grow in new tail feathers, so if she is a pullet, than she will probably lose them soon.What about the pointy tail feathers?

I am still going with pullet. I’m not 100% sure, but after watching the video and seeing the feathers better, I am even more sure it’s a pullet.
Thank you! I am very glad to be here with amazing people. You guys rock!!!Oh, and welcome to BYC!
I just got fascinated by the subject of chicken genetics some years ago, and I've been slowly learning more and more over time. By now, it adds up to a lot.@NatJ I got it now although it took me some time to understand . Your knowledge about the biology of chickens is stunning not gonna lie. You must be a teacher or something?
I did look, but it didn't change my opinion: chick could be female or male, based on what is visible at this time. Nothing says it must be male, but nothing says it must be female.Also don't forget to take a look at this video as it can make it easier for you to identify the gender of my chick.
It just turned 13 weeks yesterday. If you think its a pullet for certain, then I do so! Especially because you said you had pullets with larger Combs and wattles than usualPretty clearly a pullet to me at 12+ weeks. I've had quite a few with large combs/wattles at that age and by now it's stopped surprising me.
