Looks like a pullet to me, sorry the age is in the original post, LOL did not see that. I still say pullet. Some are just meaner that others.

I have one about 12 weeks old and its comb looks redder and its comb and wattles may be bigger than yours. Mine is a roo. If I was going by behavior I would say roo on yours, looks maybe a hen but I am not sure. I do know every time I put my hand near mine it pecks me. None of my other chickens do that including my LF... 5 month old Dark Cornish, 4 month Delaware, or bantam... 5 month Silver Sebright, 3 month White-faced Black Spanish!!
Hateful little thing!! LOL!!! I am taking it with me to the swap here at the end of the month! I won't keep a chicken that will attack anyone. I have grandchildren occasionally here.
