Please tell me not a roo!

my chickens are 20 weeks old. I have 4 Cochins. 1 is a roo and his comb and wattles are HUGE and he is HUGE. The other 3 are the same size and I am 99% sure all pullets......... But 1 of them started getting bigger comb and wattles and the other 2 still have nothing. is this one just a quicker maturing pullet? I don't see any other "roo" signs.

can you get a side view? I think I might see male hackles but I'm not sure.

I'd say pullet, but maybe get clear side profile pictures to be sure.

I will try to get a side picture and closer. I had kids in the coop with me so my chickens wanted to hide. LOL

I was thinking close to laying but from what I have read she shouldn't lay till 8-9 mo. and she isn't quite 5 mo........ so threw me off. maybe she is just maturing fast. LOL

Hard to see in pics but the hackles are round. So I am 99.9% sure pullet. Maybe she will just lay early?

Where did you hear that?? Pullets can lay at 20 weeks. Even 16 weeks.
