I am hoping for hen but this one and another look thinner and have much larger combs than the others in the flock. It also has slight points where spurs go. Also spars with my banny roo every so often but I’ve heard hens do that as well. Any help is much appreciated
 
Do you have others of the same breed? If so - compare the feet and legs to the ones you suspect are female. By this age the legs of the cockerels are thicker- and they've got huge feet.
 
And actually they don't have to be the same breed- if they're about the same age- compare known pullet feet/legs to the cockerel suspect's feet and legs.
 
I'm thinking pullet. The comb isn't large for a Leghorn and it's still pale. I don't see any male feathering yet either. She'll probably just be laying within the next few weeks.
