Jersey giant hen orrrr??

I purchased this chicken in mid March from Meyer hatchery as a jersey giant puller. Here is a recent picture.
Confused on breed due to lean body and white earlobe. Also confused on gender because of developed comb and waddle.

Thanks!

It looks like a Black Andalusian to me, but the yellow bottoms of the feet are throwing me off. Maybe that is just the picture? It's not a Jersey Giant, for sure.
I think at only 14 weeks it is fairly large and red comb and wattle, even for an Andalusian, (if it is one), so if you have better pictures of the saddle and hackle feathers, or if you can tell if any are pointy, that will tell you if it is a boy. It could still be a fast-maturing female, though. Hopefully Meyer will work with you if you got the wrong one.

Here's a picture of one of my Blue Andalusians at about the same age (hatched Aug. 5th, 2024 pic taken 11/27/24):

(The one in the middle. The pullet on the front left is a Sapphire Gem cross.)

Looking at what Meyer offers currently the only things I can find with single combs + white ears would be Leghorns (could be a color error from Exchequers?), Andalusian, or Ancona (could be a color error?)

The body shape and being 12-14 weeks old I am for some reason thinking pullet. The comb is so big and red, but it's still slightly more pinkish I think than roo-red, if that makes sense. I feel like we'd see more textured feathers and such like hackles & saddles by now, even just some less than smooth body shape where the feathers should be growing in as 'he' matures. I am voting pullet, but I am not certain on breed.

It does have yellow/black legs. No saddle feathers or hackles. I definitely think it’s just a super fast growing female after thinking so long about it .
