18 week Buff Orpington is this a Rooster?

[CrockChickens9]

Thelma is really confusing me. Her feathering doesn’t look rooster ish to me but her waddle/comb and thick huge legs seem suspicious to me. She’s extremely friendly and loves humans. These are our first chickens so I’m just going off the things I read online. No crowing, no eggs no signs behavior wise that she is a he. Looking for some experienced advice. We are about to take a rooster from a friend but only want one rooster so hoping to clear this up if possible. Thanks!

Nope. Definitely a pullet. The wattles/comb aren't unreasonable for that age. Enjoy the eggs.

That's a female. Her big, bright comb means she'll be laying soon. There is no male specific feathering, and there would be at that age if it was a cockerel.

She's a pretty girl. Buffs are big birds and pullets redden up at around that age. She should give you lots of eggs in a few weeks
Leg size is a bad indicator of gender as pullets can have thick legs too, especially larger pullets

That’s definitely a pullet and by the looks of it, should be laying soon.

Thank you all very much! Really happy to hear she’s definitely a pullet. Appreciate everyone’s time!

She's a pretty lady.
