Could I be a pullet and not a roo?

We ordered a dozen white rocks for meat birds and this one sees a little different to me. Maybe its my imagination. Its tail isnt as high as the others, nor does it have as much of a comb as the others do. I could use her as a laying hen if she is a hen. He/she is 6 weeks old. Any idea?

I'm not familiar with the breed, but that certainly looks like it could be a pullet.

I would say a pullet. By 6 weeks you should be able to see reddish pink wattles and the comb would be a lot redder in color and bigger.
Cute little girl though!

She says pleassssseeee let me be a pullet! I don't want to be a meat bird!

She looks just like my white rock pullett that is five weeks old - fluffy and pale comb.

Funny thing - I got two white rock chicks (and some others) for eggs and the other one is distinctly different. No feathering on the back yet & redder comb and wattles - yup! I think I have the opposite situation; white rock pullet that is going to be a roo!

He will be the only one. Hope he is mannerly!

She looks like a pullet to me too.

Looks identical to my white rock hen.
