green queen or green king?

She/he is 4.5 months old. I have assumed she's a pullet because of her demeanor and interactions with the flock. But it seems like she is developing hackle feathers. Thoughts?

Cockerel.

Agreed. Saddle feathers are evident. Must have been a late bloomer.

It's a cockerel.

Thanks. I was actually hoping he was a rooster, I'm deciding which roosters to cull, and which to keep in my flock, and he is soooo sweet, I am definitely keeping him.
