Late bloomer?

[lovin'6chicks]

We bought this guy to be our flock rooster. We choose him from the bin at TSC because he had a huge comb. He’s now 12 weeks and we can’t decide if he’s a late bloomer or a she. His tail is arched and scraggly. But his comb has no red at all. Thoughts?

Looks like a pullet to me. Maybe someone more experienced can chime in.

She should give you lots of eggs in the future.

Maybe check the farm/feed store bulletin boards for someone looking to rehome a cockerel.

It looks like a hen to me. Very pretty, too.

No roo hackle/saddle feathers at all and the comb is not red. Late bloomer-possible, but I think pullet.

Pullet! Funny, most of the time people would be happy to have a girl, you have the exact opposite problem
