Hi all

I purchased this as a pullet. Now approximately 11-12 weeks old bantam Cochin. Seems dominant but could just be her trying to be flock leader picking and jumping at others but the comb was a little concerning to me. Could she be a roo?

Looks like a cockerel to me. It seems to have some male specific feathers on its back that will become saddle feathers. And the comb is much bigger than the other Pekin you had shown. Sorry if you were hoping of a hen
 
Sorry just read back and I meant “Cochin” not “Pekin”, I’m afraid that it is a cockerel. But this happens more than people expect, getting boys instead of sexed girls. I once bought females and got 4 boys out of 8
