Is this a hen or a roo?

Looks like a pullet those breeds are difficult. The tail is starting to look like a roo tail though
I hope you’re right - thank you! The tail feathers have gotten fatter and rounder as Rocco has grown. The saddle feathers are shorter and rounder too. Her comb is a very pale pink and only has one “section” not three... fingers crossed.

The comb color and the lack of rust wingbars are your indicators. She may be finishing her adult molt, but I see no male indicators on this bird.
 
Looks like a pullet to me.
What made you think otherwise?
When we got the three chicks, two of them grew much bigger and did the chest bumping/feet kicking behavior. Here is a pic of Elmo, who is without a doubt a boy (keep in mind they are both the same age)
