I think so. I mean, it's got some good color to it, but still looks a little pale to me. Let me see if I can find some pics....

okay, some comb shots of hens that were laying, for comparison. She may not have as far to go as I'd thought....





 
I sure hope so!!! We've had them since Valentine's Day and estimated them around 7 weeks when we got them. I thought I heard a soft crow from someone after our big bossy rooster crowed a couple of weeks ago, but maybe not. I've seen these 2 sparring a bit, leading with their feet in sort of a rooish way (when the girls "fight", it's just chasing and a bit of pecking, not the sparring I've seen when we've had boys)
Pullets can spar too.

Definitely a hen. Couldn't say for sure how old, but appears to be full grown. She's pretty.

Anyone want to guess if this is a male or female. It is supposed to be female. It's an Easter Egger!
