I'm leaning pullet, but I'm never sure until I can see the mature saddle feathers.

Most breeds show them between 12 and 16 weeks, but I'm guessing that she's got Brahma heritage and they're slow-developers even when not slowed down due to an illness.

It can be hard to see the saddle and hackle feathers properly on a solid-colored bird or a bird with a pattern in the feathers but if you put your hand or a piece of paper under them it shows up:

Put your hand or a piece of paper under the feathers so that you can see their true shape:

I am going to vote pullet, that comb is so pale and she looks part faverolle (the hens are pale, the roosters are black). I apologize if this was already mentioned, what breed is this cutie pie?
