Calling All Ameraucana Experts!!! Is this a Roo?

[Celizwalsh]

S/He is about 15 weeks old and I thought it was a pullet but now the tail feathers are starting to look suspicious. Any thoughts?

I know the tail feathers are long but it really looks like a pullet IMO!

I am hoping so ... Up until this week I was sure it was a pullet.

this is a picture I took of him/her about two weeks ago

Does it have 1 row or 3 rows on its pea comb? If 1 than it's a pullet, if 3 than a cockerel!

At first glance I sure thought pullet, but I'm really not 100%. That comb looks a little large, and I'm not sure those aren't saddle feathers coming in. Looking again, I'm leaning toward pullet...sure hope that's right! I'd love to see pics again in a month or so, or when it crows or lays.

I'm going to say with pullet. I don't see any obvious pointy saddle feathers, and while the comb is pretty red, it isn't very large at all.

It's not real easy to see (even blown up), but looking at the comb in the front facing pics, I think you have a pullet.

 

[Celizwalsh]

Ok so I have 4 leaning towards pullet lol ... I REALLY hope we're right

I see your dilemma! I'm on the fence. The tail is the only thing that makes me think rooster. Those are such dainty legs... I'll go with the majority and say hen!
