Any possibility this is a pullet? Pretty please...

Put me down for pullet. EE's have so many different kinds and sizes of combs, it's so hard to judge. I hatched out eight EE's last fall, and it took me the longest time to figure out that they were all girls!

I'll say girl. My EE roos had a much brighter and bigger comb by this age. EE's are so hard though. I can never really tell till about 8-10 weeks when the comb suddenly takes off on roos. Very beautiful coloring

I bought the hatching eggs as true blue Ameraucanas from a guy on eBay. This is how he described the birds:

Up For Auction Are 6 "Beautiful Ameraucana Eggs". Full Blooded & No Cross Breeding (standard size) Fertile Hatching Eggs. I've Been Raising Poultry For Many Years And Take Great Pride In The Quality Of My Chickens.

Only two of the eight I received hatched and the little yellow chick had yellow legs. I gave her to a neighbor girl. This was the only other one that hatched. I kpet it becuase I liked it and it had slate legs making me think I at least had an Easter Egger, although I suspected it was a roo. Buyer beware when you buy eggs.

me thinks pullet has skinny legs, pea combs droive me nuts and I no longer pay attention to them much when trying to sex. but I like looking at their backs for saddle feathers or round feathers as my biggest indicater of sex.

I confidently vote pullet. I so NO pointy feathers to suggest roo, the comb is still pretty light, the coloring to me suggests a pattern more often seen in EE pullets. I hope for you sake I am right.

I'm voting pullet. I had one just like her: down to the feisty stance. Blackberry is a fat and happy hen.

This is getting excitinger and excitinger!

I wonder how many weeks we'll have to wait for the answer?

I vote pullet...Her wattles are very small and not red yet, which they probably should be by now, right? (same thing with the comb...should be a bit bigger and redder by now).

Her appearance just looks more pullet-ish to me.

I hope she turns out to be a pullet!

She's gorgeous!

Keep us updated. umpsup

I am thinking pullet, due to feather color. Easter Eggers aren’t easy to determine gender by any of the tails, neck feathers, or comb methods sometimes. Thus, color is how I have been telling, and I had females hatch out like that (sorry I didn’t take pictures), the roosts tend to be more blotchy and awkward looking, the females more camouflage.
