12.5 week OE. Pullet or cockerel

I thought cockerel, but still barely any comb and in person just the slightest hint of pink sometimes others it is pale. But it got this one curly tail feather around 6-8 weeks......

I think girl too. Sometimes pullets can get a funky curved tail feather that will molt. Pretty bird!

Thanks! I hope she is really a she. Lol. I want pretty olive eggs. Got an OE last year and she lays brown speckled eggs. Bought eggs to hatch and only this one hatched..... Then tried again and again only 1 hatched. So praying at least 1 is a pullet! The other is only 5 weeks. But they are first gen OE (Marans/Ameraucana cross).

I had a few Buff Orpingtons that had a tail like that. At first I was like “nooooooo…..” but they were females (thankfully).
