Hen or roo?

I’ve been getting a lot of mixed input on this one.
8 ish weeks old, red shoulders, red comb emerged at 5-6 weeks. Someone said it seems to have rounded hackle feathers though?

Definitely a cockerel! He had a common color pattern seen in male EE’s, and of course he has a large red comb! Pointed hackles and saddles won’t usually come in until 12+ weeks old!

Totally my thoughts! I posted him on a Facebook chicken group looking to rehome him, but like 3 people commented saying it was a hen?!
