*sigh* is this another rooster?

This is Tofu,
She/he was a lovely thing. This week the comb started and now behaviour changed. She/he would run as soon as I entered, now ahe/he joins the other young roosters to peck at my toes or legs.
Now I am thinking it is a he. And if he is there is a good chance I got 4/5 rooster out of this straight run.
I am guessing around 12 weeks old.
This is a barnyard mix.

I'm thinking pullet, can you put your hand underneath the neck feathers, hard to see if they're pointed.

Looks female to me. At 12 weeks you should be able to see saddle feathers coming in, which can be a better indicator of gender. Can you get a close-up of the saddle area? Can be difficult with light colored birds. Can help to put a piece of colored paper underneath the feathers so they stand out more.

I'm thinking pullet. Although the comb seems to be pretty big and red for that age. No male specific feathering that I see. A couple more weeks and you should know.

I think pullet.

The majority of my flock is pea comb and all pale, so these reds really stand out. That and my leghorns

That's probably what you're seeing. My straight comb birds matured faster than my pea comb ones, and sometimes I really thought they were roosters until they fully matured.

20 weeks is fully mature?

 

[ChickenMath10to17]

I would say 1 year is considered fully mature.

I need to figure out pullets vs roos before then

This is encouraging!
