Roo or Pullet? 🐓

[ddago003]

Hi there!

I have 5 Buff Orpingtons, all 16 weeks old. One of them has been developing more quickly than the rest so I’m having a difficult time figuring out if it’s a boy or girl. You can see the bright red comb compared to the rest. Depending on the temperature outside, it seems to get lighter or darker red. Do I have a roo? Attaching 2 photos of the chicken in question Thank you!

Pullet getting close to lay

I'm REALLY not an expert, so take it with a grain of salt, but I would expect to see some pointed saddle feathers by this age if that was a cockerel. You could just have a pullet that is close to her point of lay.
