It looks like a hen to me. Considering that her crest feathers are rounded and her wattles are small and pink. Roosters will have long, stringy feathers that get yellow. Though, because of the quality of the bird right now...I'm not completely sure. But it looks like a pullet

These two are brother and sister. Notice how the Pullets' crest is, compared to the cockerel.
They both need plucked for show in two weeks xD

#1 Pullet

#2 Cockerel

What are saddle feathers? Sorry I'm a first timer with birds
And is the cockerels head gear more draped over and longer then the pullets?
Both mine look identical and seem to square off to jump at one another a lot but I'm hoping for two pullets.:);)
 
Saddle feathers are the feathers towards the rump of the bird where the rump and tail meet. They usually hang down the side of the tail in males. Males have pointy saddle feathers and females have rounded ones that don't hang down like the males
