EE- roo or hen

[kristip]

Ok so I have posted here throughout the growth of this chick and it still has me perplexed- I wont tell you previous results until later. The comb has been pretty red for about 3 weeks now. it is about 18/19 weeks old. Those tail feather have me stumped. Sometimes they look girly and other times like a roo. please advise

Coloring looks girly.

the tail being floppy does not look rooish???

There are no saddle feathers so I'm saying a pullet. I have a 12 week old EE hen that looks the same. I'll have to take a picture and post it for you. She is a cutie for sure

My EE pullet looks almost identical. So I'll vote girl on yours!

at 18-19 weeks, there should be shiny very very pointy feathers on her, she is colored much like a girl and should she be a boy her comb and wattles would be more developed at that age. i most definately vote girl. I think you have a pretty EE hen.

See the really orange shiny feathers on my boy? That is the saddle feathers, maybe you just got lucky with a girl with a pretty tail!

Time will be the master on the subject but my initial opinion is pullet, looks very hen like in appearance by the pictures.

Here are my 2 EE pullets....Rosie (left) and Stella, they are 12 weeks in that pic. I thought for sure Rosie was a roo but everyone has told me she's a pullet
