You certainly have a pullet there

YAY! I was hoping so Now the kids can name her! Thanks all!

 

[TriangleMaster9]

Yeah I would say pullet, as other have said pullets tend to have rounder feathers.

i would hold off on naming till at least 11 weeks of age as i have had pullets change to cockerels in that time frame...i cant see the comb that well is there any way you can get a good comb shot please?

 

[hdowden]

ok the thing about the feathers is that cockerels dont start to get their pointed hackles and saddles until about 9ish -16 weeks of age hince of why i said hold of on the naming for now. saddles you will have to part the tail feathers at the base of the tail to see them coming in and i would do that at about 11 weeks of age

Thanks for the info, hdowden, I'll keep a lookout. I think the very first pic in the very first post shows the comb well enough, no?

i have two EE girls that look just like that, even if you do name now, you don't have to give em girly names. mine are named Pickes and Tator Tot

 

[Chicken Love]

Ya, except we eat the boys around here, and name them all "Dinner".

Looks like a pullet to me. I see no signs of it being a cockerel at this point.
