Do you know the breed?

It looks female to me.

That color pattern looks female-specific (like in Welsummers, Brown Leghorns, Red Jungle Fowl, Black Breasted Red color of any breed.)

Also the comb looks small and pale.

Of course I can think of exceptions to both of those points, but I think the chicken is probably female.

It’s an Easter egger m, 12 weeks old tomorrow
 
At 12 weeks, I'm pretty sure that's a pullet.
Males would normally have a much redder comb by that age.
