6 weeks - hen or roo

[Amanda0419]

This is a 6 week old Buff Orpington. Any ideas on gender? I bought her as a pullet and I am hoping she is a pullet.

Looks like a pullet, just keep an eye on that comb

Keep an eye on the saddle feathers - pointy for roo, rounded for pullet.

When do saddle feathers start coming in? This is my first time raising chickens!!

Looks to be a cute little pullet.

They should be almost in already, I just can't tell in the picture!

This is the best picture I have of her. They are in bed now so I can't get a better one until tomorrow. Can you tell from this picture?

Looks 100% pullet!

At 6 weeks that is no doubt a pullet, you would see redness in the comb already. Here is a buff orpington roo at 4 weeks for example.
