Compared to him I’m sure mines a hen, unless it’s developing drastically slower lol

Yes, the SS is female. Tan eggs for you soon.

So I’ve posted about this same hen before. I’m convinced she’s a rooster. 20 week old speckled Sussex. No crow or egg yet. The cuckoo marans is 21 weeks and the australorp and RIR are 19 for comparison. She is very friendly and not at all aggressive, but her comb is much bigger and redder than the others and tail is bigger and more curved back. All her feathers seem rounded though so I’m torn

everyone on here last time said hen, and in a Facebook group I got mostly hen answers yesterday, but two Roos from a farm and a chicken breeder

All birds pictured are pullets.

You want make a bet.

It is not male.
My SS was redder at 18 weeks.
There is nothing about it that looks male.

If no crow at 20 weeks old it’s most likely a hen.

She hasn't reddened up yet, but I would expect eggs soon enough.
