No way is this a roo...

I can’t believe it. Another BO roo? This happened last time and the lady let me swap him for a “pullet” today I noticed little spurs starting to poke out. But at 5 months I figured the comb would be much more developed.

Looks like a pretty pullet!

That's a pullet. Hens do begin to develop spurs sometimes. But you see the feathers behind her tail? They're dull and rounded at the tips. By five months, males would have pointed, shiny feathers growing there.

Even with that little spur-like thing sticking out? There’s also a redness to her legs. Someone told me roosters get that red looking “rash” when they start maturing.

Ohhh ok. Thank you so much!

Lovely pullet. Those aren't developing spurs, as far as I can tell. You'll find them on nearly every chook of either gender....I call them spur nubs.

Those are the hormones kicking in, Hens will show that in their legs as well.

Yes, she's a pullet even with those spur buds. I have a pullet that has the same sized spur buds as her same hatch date cockerel.
The flush of color is due to a hormone surge. She should start laying soon. Congrats!

I can see how you got confused, My chicken Tina has those on her feet, these are buds, sometimes hens can have those! No rooster or cockerel, Just a fluffy pullet! She’s beautiful!
