Is my crossbred chicken a rooster?

She is so pretty! I say "she," lol, as if we know for certain. I don't, but am also pretty sure it's a pullet...I don't see any rooster feathers, either, and the comb seems pretty 'feminine' I guess. Yes, she also reminds me of an Easter Egger; they're not a pure breed, FYI. But with the greens legs, pea comb, gorgeous blue with red color, and smaller size/upright tail...well, let me just say I've seen EEs pretty similar to her. ;)
 
Compared to any siblings it might have, are the feet/legs much bigger than the others?
I believe that it does have longer legs, and it stands up straighter. I don’t know if this helps, but when it isn’t separated from the other chickens it freaks out and tries to get back in. Unlike my buff Orpington pullet, which starts eating grass or looking for worms. I don’t know if this is just personality or the rooster need to protect the flock.

When it is separated. Auto correct is annoying.
 
There is a big difference between those two dates, developmentally, in a chicken. If you're not certain, I'd revisit this in a couple of weeks to see if male or female saddle feathers grow in.
Chicks looked to be a mere few days old around Oct 1
