Is this a rooster or hen? Pics included!

[Icrazyaboutu]

I am so confused with this little one. It sits on eggs with mom and even helps her take care of the babies. It has never crowed and it is almost four months old. It hangs out with the roosters sometimes and I haven't seen any fighting between them...

This is the only picture of this side... it is in shade.

This is in the sun

This is in shade...

and again


If you can tell its gender please let me know! If you can tell the breed please let me know too! Thanks so much!

Well it looks like an EE (easter egger). Ameracauna crossed with maybe RIR or production red. Sure is pretty. A little too far away to see if it's a roo or hen. Some close up views will help. But look at the saddle feathers, are they rounded or pointy?, Ameracauna's have little or no wattle, my EE's also have very little wattle. At 4 months though, you should be able to see a good size comb. Also from what I've read and mine support this; they lay late, like 20-22 weeks, so just because it isn't laying yet, don't worry. EE's have a lovely blue, blue-green, green shade egg. It was exciting when we got our first.

I agree. Pics are kinda too far away. Does it have the pointed saddle feathers?

I cant tell if the saddle feathers are or are not pointed. I have two more pictures one of each side. Here are the two pics I hope they are closer and better!

Is any chance of game blood in her

 

[Icrazyaboutu]

There could be anything in it. Does anyone know if it is a Rooster or Hen?

Judging by that last pic only I believe you have yourself a roo.

although, I'd expect to see a more prominent red comb at 16 weeks. Here is a pic of one of mine

It looks like her saddles are pointy, but it's the inner line or lacing. Her saddles are round, as are her neck feathers. Again I think there should be more red and more comb. She is 16 weeks for this pic

From the front, pink comb and very pea shaped. Normally Roos are more red then this. Hens don't red up until right before they start laying.

Just MHO, but I still think hen

It looks like a hen cuz of the small comb and the shape of tha tail feathers

Does this pic help clarify?
