hen or roo? 4 month australorp chicken

Hen or roo?
4 month old australorp chicken. I know the australorp hens get the bright red comb and waddles too. This ones comb and waddles were light pink for the longest time but just started turning red but not a very bright red. Not crowing like the rest of my Roos who are the same age

At 4 month old my Australorp Rooster was almost fully developed. His tail was already long and he got sex crazy nearing 5 months.

It looks like he’s a bit of a late developer but he’s still a cockerel.

With that small comb, my guess is that's a pullet. But I don't actually know about Australorps.

I think its a rooster, its tail is pointy and his saddle is just starting to show. The hens kind of puff them selves up, this one looks skinny.

Where is the saddle?
