Is this a roo or a hen?

I got this chicken from a guy located near me, and he said that this chicken may or may not be a roo. It is about 4 months old. What do you all think?

I say hen

Shiny back feathers = cockerel.

The size of the comb and wattles and the start of those distinguishing male saddle feathers makes this a cockerel.

Looks like a cockerel to me!

It's a blue cockerel. Hens in that color pattern are far lighter

Not completely true. All black birds and some blues have shinny feathers regardless of sex.

 

[BlackHackle]

Well, regardless of all LOL. That is a 100000% rooster

Yes, but they're rarely thin and pointy, like the ones you can see beside his wings in the picture.
