Please be a hen.....

This is a little bantam I got,  she is about 2-3 months old.  Definately the friendliest, calmest in the bunch.  In the last two days, she has been puffing and sparring with the other confirmed cockerels.  She is my daughters favorite, so I am hoping Penny is not a Perry!  Also does anyone know what breed she may be?  Or a mix of? Her legs are pink, while most of the others I have are blue/slate.  No other real distiguishing features on this one.  Just very friendly.

Sorry I disagree.  I think that's a young cockerel.  Definitely a mixed breed (pictures arn't really good enough for an educated guess on what mix)

I think we need better pics, maybe a close-up of the face...

Darn. (s)he always seemed like a girl, but I was starting to wonder and her comb went from almost pale yellow to pink in 2 days. I will try to get some pics of her comb tomorrow. If I remember correctly, she does not have a single comb like most of my other little guys. I will check again, but I think it was thicker and more smooth? ( just learning my combs here).

I won't be able to upload upload more pics until Monday, but she has what I believe is a pea comb. It has barely 3 ridges with the center beinf prominent. Definitely different than most witha single comb. But no trace yet of wattles and her ears and still white and fuzzy. I am really crossing my fingers because it is so quiet. When I picked it up this morning, (s)he was content to just fall asleep on my lap. And right now out of 20, I have 8 for sure Roos.
