Underdeveloped roo, or overdeveloped pullet?

[britesidefarm]

I have an old thread of this that got buried, but does my guy here look more like a pullet or roo? He/she’s had a comb since they were 9 weeks, but haven’t grown since. I’ve been thinking roo since then, but now he’s smaller than my pullets, who don’t have combs yet. Any ideas if he stopped growing half way?

I’m only unsure because of the size difference, and the fact that some roosters were dancing around him like they do with the pullets, but being 15 weeks, I didn’t entirely pay attention to that.

Looks like a dominant hen to me!

Feathering is suspicious.

Sebrights are hen feathered, so not sure if this will help

Darn! Completely forgot that!
Well the face definitely says pullet.
Since they're hen feathered, you can't really go by much. But I'm confident it's a girl.

I’m really happy about that as she’s the sweetest little thing ever

I'm guessing it's a cockerel, but I agree with everyone else that this one is a tough one! (Especially given that Sebrights are hen-feathered!) I'm mostly going by the comb size & redness, as compared with the other male and the females.

Being smaller than the other male: I've seen some chickens that are smaller or larger than others, even among the same breed from the same hatchery. So I would just assume he's a smaller one.

Since bantams are supposed to be small, does that mean the small one is actually a "better" bird?

I'm assuming the bird in question hasn't crowed, and hasn't laid any eggs.
