Is this a pullet? Or is mama laying eggs again?

In a moment I will be posting a picture. The bird in that picture is 15 weeks old.plus two days. The mother is a Cornish bantam. The father- I'm not entirely sure. When the egg was fertilized I had as many as 11 possible sires around.

All I can say for sure is "barnyard mix" for the breed. I might be able to make a better guess in a few weeks.

So anyway, the picture...



...and yes, the picture was taken within the last week.

As always, any input is welcome.
 
I'm not entirely familiar with the Cornish game, so I'm only guessing, but it looks like a rooster to me.
 
Rooster. Red bars on wings nails it. Also that much pea comb at 15 weeks is another indicator.

Barnyard mixes can be hard to tell, as they change so much, but while I've had varying color patterns on wings, anytime you get a strong red block on the wing bows, that's a rooster.

That's a cockerel. If anyone is laying, it's not him
