Hello! Frankie is our Americauna who is about 20 weeks give or take a little. I have sent photos to many and they all think she is a hen. To my knowledge she isn’t crowing. I haven’t heard her. My daughters have seen her “mount” the other hens. We have 4 adults (1-2 years old) and 2 teenagers (Frankie is the second youngest) and she has “mounted” all of them. I have sat outside watching and waiting multiple times and haven’t seen anything suspicious. Frankie and her buddy Cloudy (and easter egger that did infact turn out to be a roo (crowing and all) used to chest bump a lot but I have heard some hens or pullets do that. Any insight? What does she look like to you?

I agree.
I don't see any male saddle feathers, although I can't see that area very clearly it should be pretty obvious by this age.
I would expect eggs reasonably soon.
