Roo or lady? That is the question

FarrFreshEggs · Wednesday at 3:58 PM

Hello,
One of my broody ladies hatched this little one on August 21. Puts this at almost 4 months and I still can’t tell which direction it’s going. What do you think? Pullet or Roo? Nothing is screaming either way to me but maybe that’s because everyday I go outside and over analyze

Thank you!

Looks like a pullet to me.

Hmm this is a tricky one! So exactly 17 weeks old. I don't see the classic red shoulders and splotchy coloring of an cockerel. Thin legs. Small comb. The tail is kind of crazy but I'm going with pullet.

Her tail is a bit crazy because I had just caught her to “inspect” her lol. I was looking for any rusty feathers on her shoulders. The feathers that look a bit darker are just gray under the white. I looked for saddle or hackle pin feathers which I didn’t find. I’m really hoping she’s a girl.

Thank you for your thoughts!

I believe that she is definitely a pullet!

Comb on a roo would usually be a little bigger or pinker and it would have more of those triangular saddle feathers.
I’d say pullet.

Roo or lady? That is the question
