Hen or Roo?

[Kas21]

Hello I have this 8 week old buff Orpington. This is the only one I have of this breed, so no others to compare it to. Opinions please if Roo or Hen? Thank you!

Do you have any other buff Orpingtons, sometimes you can tell by their size. Roosters have elongated, narrow, and pointy saddle feathers on their sides right in front of the tail. They spill over the sides like a waterfall. These feathers start showing up around 8-10 weeks. Usually, by 12 weeks, they'll be impossible to miss.

No, this is the only buff Orpington I have. Why I am curious, no other ones to compare it to. Thanks!

I think it a cockerel, going by comb size.
