I think it looks like a hen. I see no sex feathers
They look so chubby! A big fluff ball....looks like a hen to me.

Lady.....looks like all nine of mine
It's a girl.
I honestly think its a rooster....its legs look awfully think.....sickle feathers look like they may be beginning to turn also.
It's a hen. You can tell the BO roos at five weeks - it's pretty obvious.
5 weeks:
16 weeks:
Check out those legs - they're like tree trunks.

so are those....
I think she's pretty girly.
I wouldn't worry about those tail feathers, either. For example, my BO has 'em.
I LOVE my fluffy Buffy - she's such a hoot. Especially now that she's hatched a single chick (not from her egg).
Here she is with the nine day old GrandChick. (My first! I'm a gramma!)
Here she is before she went broody.
Just for comparison, of course.
