I posted another thread a while ago, asking about the gender of this chick. Everybody agreed it was a cockerel because of its black breast, but she turned out to be a hen.
I thought I’d share some updated photos of her just for fun, and if anyone has some suggestions on her genetics, I’d appreciate it a lot! 😊❤️
She’s probably the loveliest hen I’ve ever hatched. Her feathers look almost pink some places.

Her father is a Fiftyfive flowery silver, and her mother is a Cream legbar/Rhode Island Red Cross.

Hen feathered rooster? Most of those pictures still look male to me. The comb looks large and reddish in some pictures, the neck looks like it has thin hackle feathers. The saddle feathers don't look like a rooster, but otherwise I'd think that was a boy.
