Hen or Rooster

[NatureGirl74]

I have a 12 week old chick. Not sure if its a hen or a rooster. I thought it was a hen, but it acts like a rooster. I need to know whether or not to put it with my other hens.

Can we get a picture of the saddle area?

It's a cockerel.

I'm not sure, but it sure looks like a sweet loving bird!

Idk. Looks like a roo to me- the neck feathers are straight and not rounded, unlike a hen.

Looks like a boy from what I can tell in the photo, comb is fairly large and red and appears to be some pointy hackle feathers.

I’m thinking cockerel, that’s a pretty big comb for that age very pretty bird!

The roosters that hatched the same day it did have a lot bigger comb than this bird.
