Hello and welcome to BYC!

Gorgeous bird!!! Best wishes with your flock!

Hey! Thanks so much for the support, how kind of you!

Thanks! That's really upsetting because I paid $30 thinking it's a hen. Is there a possibility it is a hen you think? The saddle feather seem rounded but I'm knew to this so I have no clue

No, its a rooster. Look at the tail feathers hanging and saddle feathers.
I'm so sorry!

I don't think so. Comb and wattles are really large for a 12-14 week old. I can also see some male specific feathers coming in on his saddle and hackles.

Will you be able to keep him?

No unfortunately I can't have any roosters where I'm living at the moment. I even told her that. I'm pretty sad because he's beautiful and I trusted the seller

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. Have to agree roo is it.
Can you switch is with the seller?

That's a shame. Will the seller refund you or take him back?

Darn. I was really hoping I was wrong. Thanks for the input
