Hi, welcome to BYC.
You may want to post some full body pics of your suspected cockrel. Some showing tail feathers would help. Red combs aren't always an accurate indicator.

Here he/she is. What do you think? Australorpe X . About 12 weeks old now.

I see some tattered tail feathers, but I'm not convinced that's a male. Can you give her another week or two?
Let's wait for a couple of other members to weigh in.

Those are sort of wispy feathers.

I'm leaning towards pullet.
Regardless, give it another 3 weeks and the pointed saddle feathers will make an appearance if I'm wrong.
