Please tell me this isn't a rooster! Should be about 5-6 months old.

Not sure on the breed, I believe she was a maran mix? This is what she looked like when I got her about a month ago. People on this forum said definitely a pullet. The lady I bought her from said she was 100% pullet.

How old is s/he? people on this forum have been wrong before and people selling 100% pullets have been wrong too...we've all unfortunately been there. Sorry this happened. Maybe it is the once in a million 'dominant hen" which is what I was told once about a chicken I was convinced would be a roo from a lady who was "absolutely sure" it was a hen.

Fortunately Frank is a good name should and if not...you can make chicken noodle soup from lemons!

good luck

Should be atleast 6 months old.
 
I think you have a Blue Wyandotte there, probably a young male given the start of the dark male pattern shoulder/wing feathering. A quick internet search brought me these for you to compare a rooster and hen.

It's just so odd because she doesn't have any rooster feathering. I have roosters the same age that are very definitely roosters.
