*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 will try when i have another person to help. Camera work and holding a chicken is not a one man job. I added a few more pictures. Out of nowhere the comb got noticable and red this week. It good be the wrong age. This one was always sick around 4 weeks old. So maybe behind?

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.

I think pullet.

So pullets can have such red combs before they lay eggs?

 

[SmiYa0126]

I don't think it's that bright. My cockerel is not even 12 weeks and it's obvious he's a cockerel.

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