Need help confirming if a roo or a pullet

I don’t see cockerel either. If you can catch him/her and hold the suspect saddle feathers away from her body it will be easier to tell if they are pointed. Sometimes the coloring of the feathers make them appear to be pointed.
 
Well, better late than never - it is a pullet
What makes you think it's a pullet? It hasn't laid an egg with a comb that light pink. It has pointy hackle and saddle feathers. And if you will look at the tail in pic #3, it is growing sickle feathers. It may be several months, but that Roo is going to crow one day.
If you can get some more closer up pics (in decent lighting), you might can convince me that that little rooster is a pullet. :lau

The feathers have all rounded out on her since I had posted this months ago. Definitely looks exactly like her sister!

Oh, Ok! Has she still got that longer sickle feather sticking off her tail?
Some breeds are hen feathered, like seabrights. :hugs

Campines, sebrights, and henny gamefowl are the most common breeds with hen-feathering. This pullet looks like an EE cross, and doesn't resemble any of those breeds all, so it is unlikely that she has hen-feathering.
