Hen. Toms don't have feathers up their neck or on their head. She's cute.

At 4 months old it appears to be a hen. If those are its adult feathers, the light colored lower edges of the breast feathers confirm it is a hen. Males will have dark colored bottom edges on their breast feathers. This only applies to adult feathers. The juvenile breast feathers of both sexes will have the light color on the lower edges of their breast feathers.
