What is the gender of this chicken?

This is a 12 week Easter egger and I am curious to know if it will be a hen or roo.

I am a novice: learning. I say rooster because:
Large red comb
Pointy hackle feathers
Long saddle feathers
The 'rounded tooshie'
Might be the sign of waddles
And it looks like the start of sickle (tail) feathers?

Also the feet are yellow. My mixed easter egger has olive-ish colored feet. Not sure if that matters?

Although I am known to be wrong... someone correct me?
Beautiful bird tho! Looks like some of the feral jungle/gamea mixes around here. Actually identical to the one who harasses me at the dump (USVI doesn't have rubbish service)!

I was thinking hen until I saw what I believe to be sickle feathers. Thank you for your response.

Seems like a roo!
Sickle feathers are an obvious sign!

I am a newbie to chickens and thought I saw sickle feathers but was unsure. Thank you for your reply.

This bird doesn’t have sickle feathers. It has juvenile feathers it’s molting out. Tail feathers are an inaccurate sexing method. This is a quick-to-mature pullet

Looks like a pullet to me, but older than 12 weeks,

I am really hoping it is a hen and just quick to mature. We did name "her" Martha but time will tell. This is the prettiest chicken in my flock.

It could be between 12 and 14 weeks old. I tried to keep up with the age as best as I could.

That’s what I was thinking as well. I remember when my EEs were molting their tail feathers looked the same way.
