Pullet or Cockerel?

[Sparksz]

I've posted this same question before, with this same chicken, and was told everytime it was a she/pullet. Well, today 'she' has surprised me. 'She' has begun to crow, but still just doesn't look like a cockerel. 'She' is around 5 months old. I'm very confused, and any answers would be helpful! Thanks in advance.

Interesting, it really looks like a pullet though...you sure it wasn't just "imitating" a roo? Sometimes chickens could be characters you know...like roos that sit in the layers box like a broody hen...

I can't view your video.

Looks like a cockerel to me, but can we get a better pic, specifically showing the tail/saddle region? And how positive are you one age?

I've heard a dominant hen will try to crow if there's no rooster and it's the funniest thing to see/hear.

I have three roosters that free range with her, and she just started doing this about a week ago. I didn't know that hens could imitate roosters, either. I'm still pretty new to chickens, so I'm just trying to learn all I can.

I really didn't know that hens could imitate roos. I guess I learn something new everyday.

Yea, I learned on the job too, and from this wonderful site which has such interesting threads, that these animals are full of personalities, real characters those chickens!

'She' was hatched around February-March so she's probably right around 5-6 months old.
These are the pictures I have of her.

Oops, i take that back, she actually does look like a he! I see the build better now, that looks like a cockerel.
