No she's a female.

Hope you are right but she is very tall? Never had that free before it’s just an egg that I got off of eBay.

What breed is the chicken in question? Honestly, I can't tell the gender, but those saddle feathers are looking very long and pointy to me. That would mean rooster, technically cockerel, as he would be under a year. At this age, he should have a big, red comb, and a definite tail. The feet look very large, though, and he's definitely a big guy. Are the other chickens around him the same breed and age? Very interested to see what others say.

If he's mixed with a slower maturing breed, like a Jersey Giant for one example, he could be confusing things because a cockerel of the same breed *usually* matures earlier than the pullets of that breed.

I see feathered legs, so maybe a Marans cross?

I also see pointed saddle feathers, so thinking male.
