I am leaning toward pullet. Her comb and feet are both very dainty and small. My EE roos, by that age, had large peacombs and huge feet.

I hope that’s the case!

I think I can see sickles but the comb says pullet to me.

I think I can see sickles but the comb says pullet to me.

I think it is the coloration that is throwing it off.

The tail has been making me worried, thinking I see sickles too. My other EE tail who was a hen did not have a tail like that.

I think it is the coloration that is throwing it off.

Why the colors?

 

[Kay-T-Hammer]

Why the colors?

Where the black color comes to a point, and on some feathers a very fine point, it makes the feathers look longer and thinner. If you use your hand to lift the feathers, I believe that you will find them to be rounder rather than pointed.

Here’s a closer up of the tail!
