Boy or girl?

[PennysHennys]

Please ignore the boo boo above the beak, one of the big girls didn't want this one in her space. Eight weeks old.
Thanks in advance for your help!

How old? Looks like a boy. I see saddle feathers and a roosters tail. There isn't much comb and wattle development, though.

Hmm that's tough. Some times hens appear to have saddle feathers put then when they get older it results in a big fluffy butt. And sometimes hens have a tail like that and it just turns out to be a curved tail on a hen. Tough.

What is his/her behavior? Does he/she ever raise his/her neck feathers so he/she looks like he/she has a mini lion maine for a few seconds?

Thanks chickenlittle21. Yes, but I have another chick almost identical and it is usually those 2 that exhibit this behavior. Probably just need to cool my jets and let nature take its course. I will know in a few weeks for sure. It just seems I am in the pasture with them so often I can't see the changes. Sort of like you don't notice your own children growing but others do! They are fun though!
