11 week old Blue Americana Hen or Roo?

[Sarah47201]

I can't figure out if this is a hen or a roo. 11 weeks old today. Any help is appreciated. I have to get rid of the roos because of a city ordinance and I really want this one to be a hen.

Looking like a cockerel. I'd wait a few weeks to be certain, though.

Looking like a cockerel.

I'm curious - what about the bird says cockerel to you? Redness of comb?

Redness of comb and darker coloring in the wing and hackle area, which pullets usually don't have.

Sorry, I'm guessing a Pretty Pullet Either it's my old eyes but I don't see any red comb, nor the start of any saddle/hackle feathering Sure is a lovely color

I'm thinking pullet. Could you get a close up the comb?

Looks like a pullet to me. by this point roo saddle feathers should be coming out, and I don't see any pointed ones, only rounded ones.

Appears to be a pullet, but I believe there are two other cockerels in the picture.

I don't see any pointed hackle or saddle feathers either. Sometimes combs can be deceiving so I have learned to go by the feathers.

My best guess is a pretty little pullet so I am keeping my fingers crossed for you . Sometimes only the chicken knows for sure!
