Rooster or "early blooming" hen??

[ForTheLoveOfFarming]

Hey everyone! I got 12 baby pullets, 5 different breeds, on March 1, 2018. One of my Buff Orpingtons, that is supposed to be a female, is developing faster than the rest and I believe she may be a rooster and am hoping I can get some opinions. I'm more of a "count your chickens before they hatch" kind of person, so I've already named "her" Oscar! haha Oscar's comb came in 6 weeks ago and the rest are just starting to get theirs. Also, some of Oscar's feathers are really beautiful, like iridescent! Here are some pics of Oscar and the rest of the ladies that are the same age as Oscar. Notice the pic of the 3 Orpingtons together, Oscar just looks a little different! Also, a close up of Oscar's sister, the same age. Thanks for reading!

The thing that REALLY gives it away for me is the tail. If you look Oscar's tail feathers are long and getting that rooster back end. He is a studly one!!

He is, without a doubt, an Oscar.
