Is My Green Queen A King?

Will be 3 months old on the 4th. The same size of the others and very sweet and friendly. Easy to handle. But starting to look like saddle feathers and comb is a bit brighter than the others.... what do you think?

I think the red/rust color bleeding through is deceptive, normally I'd lean Cockerel but I just don't see anything that screams that, so I'm leaning Pullet, but others may disagree who have more experience with this breed. I've had EE's and have one now with rust bleeding through her color but she is 100% a pullet. So final answer for me is Pullet.

I also posted on fb and everyone on there is positive they are a roo. I guess we will see if they crow soon or lay an egg lol

I would say.... I would say I'm not positive. Can you post more pictures of the saddle area in a couple of weeks?

I'm NOT at all an expert, and especially not on this breed! But the feet still seem dainty and the comb is still nice and small and pink, not red, at least to me. I vote pullet... and will follow with great interest!

It's giving mixed signals, so all you can do is wait. Within a few weeks it will start getting male specific feathering if it is a cockerel.

At that age, I think it is probably* a female.

*I say "probably" because some slow-maturing males can wait that long or even longer before they become obvious. So I will be watching to see how it develops.
