Just wanting to make sure of gendar

All chickens have spur buds, and hens do have saddle feathers, but they are rounded.

Hens don't have saddle feathers.

Exactly.

I don't see any saddle feather on this BR. But I'm new and may not know exactly what I'm looking for. So here are some more picturesView attachment 1198219 View attachment 1198220 View attachment 1198221

I don't see any pointy saddle feathers, she's a pullet.

Is this chicken is a hen would she be fighting the roo because he's a month younger than her?

In my experience, a rooster knows another rooster when it sees one. Hens pick on pullets and roosters pick on roos.

In my signature follow my link to pictures of some of my birds. Halfway down or better is last year's barred rock rooster at about the same age as yours for your comparison.

My BR's legs are no were near that yellow and neather is it's beak. And it's face is not that red eather. Man I'm so confused about this chicken. No crow yet or eggs and if it's a girl I most likely won't have eggs till spring. Non in my flock are laying.

It's fairly common for a hen to fight with a roo, especially while they're young.

The one wearing the hen saddle is a cockerel but, it's a good look on him . If he doesn't mind I don't either.

spur buds mean nothing. All chickens, male and female, have spur buds. Some females actually grow spurs as well... my golden spangled hamburg pullet is growing spurs. But she's definitely a female...

for this BR... the first pics, where its got the saddle on... it looks male. The coloring looks male... but, I don't really see male saddle feathers on it. The hackles though, soooo male. So, this bird is really confusing to me.
