Is Screamin Mimi Marie a cockrel?

On June 5th I got to see my first ever live hatch. It was exciting right up until the chic cleared the egg and the hen attacked and scalped the chic. Yeah, no!! So for 13 weeks now I've had this baby in the house while she healed. Only egg in the clutch to hatch. The hen that laid this egg is a Buff Orpington and the rooster is a Barred Rock and Barred Cochin mix. Needless to say I feel in love and yesterday "she" started the crowing. I could hear the outside rooster. I was so sure she was a pullet due to rounded feathers, and it was moving day. I batting zero at sexing them I was wrong again wasn't I?

Looks like a pullet to me too. Except for the really red comb and wattles at 13 weeks.

Can you please explain how you know? I mean what you see to know that? I'm still kinda new and learning and I'm never gonna get it right without questions! Lol

Cockerel. With those red wattles and comb at that age screams boy to me

Well, usually the comb and wattles do not get really red like that until they are going to lay eggs and that usually doesn’t happen until they are five or six months old.

That's a cockerel, if he's 13 weeks.
No pullet will crow... ever. That, and the comb and wattles being that red and big that young means cockerel. A pullet won't get red until she's ready to lay at 20 weeks or so.

Ok, so I'm gonna have a house rooster instead of a house hen, doable!! Good thing he has nicknames huh?
