15 Weeks, wishful thinking...

The EE is a boy. Those back tail feathers tell the tale.

I have one that looks a lot like him. For some reason, that coloring often comes up with EE roos. As mine has grown, he has gotten more and more of the shiney greenish black tail feathers in the back. It is really pretty.

I can do that. We are really hoping against it, though. We are allowed to have chickens, but I think out neighbors would not be the biggest fans of all the noise... I thought they would be crowing by now. Why aren't they?

Well, I hope I'm wrong for your sake. Have you been out very early in the morning to listen for crowing? Sometimes when they have just started, they only do it at first light.
 
I would think the GLW would be showing more rooster coloring at that age. It looks like a pullet to me.

See how this guy has much more orange on his neck and saddle?

My GLWs are girls and aren't quite as old as the OP's. But they look similar. One even has a straight comb like hers, unfortunately.

Best bet it to wait and see though.

I'm seeing two roos too. Your EE is def a roo. The GLW looks like roo feathers are starting, it doesn't have the coloring yet but they look like they're pointing down and are a little pointy. Sorry! My GLW has a much shorter tail than yours, but keep an eye on it, it may turn out to be a girl. The single comb is throwing me off a bit too, that makes it a little harder to sex since the rose comb is more common.

She is pretty skittish. She's also curious, which makes for some great entertainment. She'll investigate something and then freak out when it moves, etc. She's nice to look at.
