Amelia is a pullet. Female chickens can have iridescent feathers, shiny feathers don't always mean male. And hatchery EEs are generally large robust birds with big feet. Hope you get some pretty eggs from her!I have 2, 9 week old chickens. One is Dolly a Dominique who is definitely a pullet. The other, Amelia the Easter Egger, I have no clue. Any help would be appreciated as I am not allowed to have a cockerel in my county.
She/He has some shine to their tail feathers, she's more aggressive than Dolly, her feet are big, she doesn't have that roundish body like Dolly, but her comb isn't very red, it's not very big, and I've never heard her crow in any way. She also doesn't have reddish shoulders which other folks said were indicative of a male.
Here are some pictures of Amelia. She is very skittish, so I apologize for the pic quality, as we have 3 year old at home that loves her and Dolly but they are terrified of my son's loud, overly grabby ways.
