Can anyone tell me that this pretty baby is not a boy?

This baby is 9 weeks, White Leghorn/EE cross. the sole survivor of a batch of shipped hatching eggs.
I was sure he/she was a girl and then suddenly started to look a bit roo ish.. I so hope i'm wrong. I can tell my marans a mile away but i've never had either of these breeds before.

I don't see any hackle or saddle feathers so I would say it is a pullet.

I hope it is a female.

I'm sorry, that looks like a boy to me.

9 weeks, I'd have to say cockerel. The comb is growing already and the tail feathers look pointed which isn't 100% but I wouldn't be surprised to see saddles in the next few weeks (12 weeks or so -- he's a bit young for them to show yet)

it was the tail feathers that got me too ... i was hoping that it was because it has the high tail of a leghorn...

The comb is just too red to be a pullet. Maybe slide black paper under the saddle feathers to really see them clearly. I hope to have been of some help.

Hmm... leghorn hens can get substantial combs and tails, but this red so early? I'm tentatively voting roo, but crossing my fingers for pullet!

I will laugh if we all think he's a boy and then i find a blue egg... LOL!!! I guess i will have to name him Wilson, since he is a survivor...
