It Kinda got a big red comb early (15 weeks, maybe? ), hangs out with a for sure austrolorp hen, had pointy hackle feathers but nadda single pointed saddle feathers. Completely round. Very odd, eccentric bird. Not very loud, but squawks if you catch it. The tail feathers are a tad rounded, but not enough to make me scream boy. Those rounded saddle feathers, if he was 20 weeks (ok no idea on its age) shouldn't he have saddle feathers ? So, that'd make 'him' a 'her', right? Gah, it's such an annoying bird!!! But, I love it xD and no, I can't tell you an age.
Note it's a spitzhauben (hatchery quality so has some polish I'm assuming) so it's anatomy is bit different then most crested chickens

I am completely unfamiliar with the breed, I've only heard the name but if I had to take a wild guess I would guess its a cockerel based on the hackle feathers.
