9 week snowy Easter egger, pullet or cockrel?

that's where saddle feathers are. I don't think she would have them, but it never hurts to be sure!
It is hard to tell, she is so white. I looked for that, I'm just not used to my pullets having such hooked pointed tail feathers, the only one that has ever had those turned out to be our cockerel.

Tail feathers aren't very helpful for sexing until all of the other signs of cockerel would have been showing. Pretty bird!
 
Is this good for the back part? She keeps moving around and was curious about the phone 😂

Did you order from MPC? What's the personality like on her? How docile is she? I have been looking at their EE variants.
Yes, I did order her from there! So far she is the feistiest of our girls. I sense she is probably the top of the pecking order. She isn't aggressive at all, just less cuddly than the others. If you want a white/splash bird that lays blue eggs from MPC I would definitely recommend the Super Blue they have. I can't say enough about ours, she came in and would sleep in your hand, I'll include a pic of her. Individual personalities aside though, Snow White is a nice chicken, it remains to be seen how she is as an adult, of course. Our super blue's name is Justin Case, she was ordered because we only had three birds and we are in Phoenix where heat deaths are common regardless of effort so we ordered "just in case girls". Here is a baby pic of her snoozing, and one of her snoozing yesterday 😂. I often have to tell Justin to put her landing gear down as I set her down...asleep.

I was looking at my daughter’s chicken today (she named her Snow White) and it occurred to me that she has very masculine tail feathers. What do you guys think? The white color makes it hard to figure things out, but “she” is one of our larger birds. I will be really dismayed if we had two sexing errors out of 6 birds, as we ordered a speckled Sussex pullet who is very obviously a big crowing, glorious cockrel in the same batch. 😕

Looks like a girl for now.
