does this stil look like a roo? This is her/him today with full tail feathers.

It looks more like a pullet here!

really confusing chick i got here...

Fully feathered now, comb is now turning pinkish but still one row. He/she is older than my brahma roo and he (the roo) already has a big red, three rowed comb. No crowing yet. Is it safe to call this a hen or are eggs the only way to tell?

Huh. Weird. That's a female, despite the pattern.

Im curious if she will stay this colour or be a bit lighter after a few molts or if she will have roo colours permanently .

Could it be mixed with something else that would mess with the coloring?

hmm maybe... although i have seen the parents she came from and the breeder keep each colour and breed in enclosed areas so that would be weird . from her broodermates she was the only one with this colouring, even the breeder said she has some weird colouring but she might grow out of it. maybe thats what pushed me to pick her, since i dont even have a lemon pyle roo for her it wouldn't matter as their chicks would be mixed anyway.
