Is my favourite chicken a roo?

[MVchickens]

It looks like a roo to me. my buff orp is 16 weeks and has no red in the face or comb at all.

Yeah, her comb developed slowly and started off yellow and non distinct but this last two weeks its gone red and while the face is still pale the wattles and comb are quite red. I may post another pic in a few weeks then and see what y'all think.

I would say definitely a pullet. I have 12 week old BO's and they have red in the face and combs. I just love love love my BO girls!

She's getting close to laying age and I've heard that their combs and waddles usually turn red when they are getting ready to start laying.

Yeah she has started doing it on mornings when she hears me come out the back door. She knows I'm gonna let her out to free range and I'll no doubt have treats.
