Is this 4.5 month black australorp a pullet or cockeral?

Elsie is incredibly large. Not sure if she is male or female? I have not had a cockeral before so not exactly sure what pointy saddle feathers look like. Hers look somewhere in between rounded and pointy. Does anyone have a suggestion?

She looks like a female to me. There can be a difference in size from birds of the same breed. A male would have a very large comb by now and long pointed feathers on his saddle. And he would be crowing!
Are you sure she is an Australorp. There are larger breeds that are solid black like her. :)
The place I got her as a 2 day old said so, she was cream and dark grey as a chick. Thanks for the reply. No crowing so far.
