Is it a "SHE" or a "HE"???

It was the big red comb at his age. Girls don't start developing their combs until they are almost ready to lay, usually about 14 to 18 weeks old. Anything with a bright pink comb before 10 weeks old is a boy.

Thanks!!

Hi! I'm so new to chicken keeping! I was told this is a mixed cuckoo maran and amaraucana mix. He/she is a bit aggressive and often has a stare down with my roo. What do you guys think is it a he or a she. He/she is the biggest in my flock of 5 and they are all 16 weeks old.

Thanks for responding... I just realized only one of my three pics got posted. So how can you tell he's a cockrail?

Long, thin feathers on the back, near the base of the tail; the gold 'leakage' on his wings; the 'Fabio' style neck feathers that are starting to come in; and the red, three row pea comb are all male specific features.
