I'm trying to determine the gender of this 9 week old easter egger, Lucille. I'm almost positive she's a pullet, but she has thick legs, is the largest of our 5 other pullets of different breeds (all same age), and she has shown a MUCH more take-charge protectiveness since we rehomed our 8 week cockerel early last week. I'm guessing she could just be establishing herself as the new top of the pecking order, but I'm not the most experienced chicken owner.
