any Help would be awesome

Sometimes you have to wait until they molt as an adult to see the adult feathers. But check the neck and tail feathers for points!

I agree. You have to look closely because the markings make the shape look different.

Slow growing/maturing breeds can look female for 6 months! I had an Orpington "Hen" start to crow @ 6 months!

Then, if they are all the same age, (20 weeks), then the "rooster" would have started mating with the hens by now. It's not a rooster, just a larger hen that grew faster. I am 99.9% confident in this. It would have started crowing by 6 weeks and mating by 16. Sorry man.

that is not always true. Mine started at 1 year. It really depends on the chicken.

Generally, though, that is quite true. For most chickens that is very true, but some are late bloomers. I agree with you, but generally it is correct. But either way, a rooster will definitely start crowing by 20 weeks. It's just like how I learned to talk, and how Hens make their noises. It's either a chirp or a more matured noise, more often than not.

I’m leaning Pullet, but just for the moment. Will you post new photos to this thread when it’s ten weeks?

I have a GLW that’s straight run and I’m in the same predicament. However mine has much redder comb and wattle than yours. Here’s a pic of “her” last weekend at 8 weeks.

Can we see tail and feet?

That’s the best I have at the moment. Chickens are notoriously difficult to get to pose for photos!

In the group photo she’s the darkest one.

Looks like a pullet in the group, but the tail feathers in the close-up look kind of long and pointy. Hard to say without watching them move, and looking closer. Sometimes the little cockerel just acts like a boy!
