HELP! Is my sweet Agnes a roo??

[chickerdoodle]

Little super sweet and friendly Agnes is seven and a half weeks old. She was out a week ago and I saw what I think might be ---saddle feathers??!? Could these actually be saddle feathers starting to show up at this early age?? They are rounded at the edge and so are her (

) hackle feathers. She is an Easter Egger so I know they are tough to tell.

Can you look at the pictures (hope they are good enough) and tell me what you think?? Or maybe what I should look for (I know a crow is a telltale sign but they sound like chicks still).

Her back:

Saddle feathers?

Side again--notice the swoop by the base of her tail:

I don't think those are "saddle" feathers. Take a deep breath, calm down.

I could be wrong, but I really don't think those are saddle feathers.

I am a complete newbie to sexing EE and am seeking advice on a post today for one of my own. So...no vast experience here but to me she looks like a pullet..comb and round feathers...also her legs are not as thick as my EE roo`s did.

looks like a pullet to me...that comb is very small and narrow. I have never seen sickle saddle feathers on a bird that young...

So far it looks like a pullet to me. I have a EE chick that I suspect is a roo, has a redder comb at a younger age than your chick.

I think it's a pullet as well. Her legs look a little thick in one of those pics, but her comb is so little and light.
