What is this Opal BlackShoulder?

[BabyPea]

This is the only youngster I have so I don't know if it's a male or female. It is 6mo old. At first I thought it was a hen but it has gotten darker so I don't know now.

@KsKingBee help me please.

Sorry, I just today saw this post. With no barring or saddle feathers I would say it is a hen even with the dark neck. It is quite young so that could change.

No worries, I know you are a very busy man.
Thank you, I do hope it's a hen
