22 wk - EE... hen or roo?

[JMPE]

This is one of my EEs, Ester. She is 22 weeks old, and her questionable gender stresses me out.

Yes, she has a lot of curvy feathers near her rump, but they are very rounded. She also has a long feathers in the cape/hackle area, but not pointier than my other hens (just longer). I'd like to think she's just fancy. She's shy but totally docile when handled. I know EEs are slow to mature, but the wait is painful.

So, hen or roo?

Thanks for taking yet another look at my stinkin' bird!

Pullet

At 22 weeks and no comb growth at all I am gonna guess pullet. Beautiful coloring though.

Yippy!

I think my other EE, Bonnie, is even prettier, and since she was jealous of Ester getting all the attention...

Thanks everyone! This is the best group of folks (and not just 'cause you told me what I wanted to hear).
