Is my pretty pullet a ROOSTER????

15 week buff orpingtons. The one with the larger and more red comb I think may be a roo! Can anyone help me!?!?

It's difficult getting a clear look at his feathering because of the chicken wire, but from what I can see in the third picture I am 85 % certain that it is a cockerel.

Thank you for the response. I'm leaning towards cockerel too but I just can't tell for sure.

I think cockerel, too. My Orpington didn't start growing in the pointed saddle/hackle feathers until later on.

I see no pointed feathers. I believe it is most likely an early maturing pullet that will be laying soon!

I think it's a slower growing cockerel.
