How old? Just off the top of my head I would say pullet. My Blue Andalusian Roo has a comb that goes for miles! Lol! And the wattles and hackle feathers are much more pronounced in the boys. My BA girls look like this, except the tail feathers. Your poor baby is missing some.

What is happening that makes you think roo?

Just for comparison, here is a picture of one of my BA girls when she was young...




Edited to add... Don't mind the broody Dark Cornish girl, she was not happy to have her picture taken.

Cockerel. The blue is just too patchy for a pullet.

You'll know when it either crows or starts laying eggs. We can all guess until then.

Do you know for sure that it's a pure BA? I've had some cross breeds that have the blue feathers, but darker than the pure-bred chickens. Here's a picture of the result of a BA hen crossed with a Cuckoo Marans roo...

For starters, Blue Andalusians are white egg layers with white earlobes. They also have white skin, with a slate wash. And they have a build similar to that of a Leghorn.

That hen is clearly not 'pure' Andalusian due to the lack of white earlobes, the chunky body shape, and the light legs.
