16 Week Old SLW

[Bridebeliever]

I usually feel pretty good guessing the gender of everyone else's chickens...why can't I figure out my own?!? This young chicken is 16 weeks old and I was feeling pretty confident that ALL my chickens were pullets. Until I noticed this tail feather the other day!!! Ack!

And I was taking a "chelfie" (chicken selfie) so here's the comb and wattle shot.

I have one with a funky tail like that, looks like a hen to me.

I agree with the pullet theory.

Looks like a pullet. My SLW was so hard to sex. I thought she was a roo for a long time lol
