EE roo or hen :(

Yea, I am starting to think that she is a she, but she could also be a mix of some kind. She as also a runt, she was half the size of my EE's up till she was about 6 weeks and even now she is still much smaller then them. I had some issues with her when she was little, it was suggested that the hatchery might of hatched her a week early because she had such a hard time adjusting. She would fall asleep standing up, she would not eat much food, and she was so shy to the other birds and me. The other birds never picked on her they actually tried to comfort her but she did not get better until I started making her mash (feed and water) and gave her a soft stuffed monkey that she liked to sleep on. After a week she was much better but she is still shy and fights me more then the others. Flapping her wings when I pick her up and resistant to being picked up. (I am still working on the coop so I have to carry them outside and in at night)

Well here's some pics of the two roo's I had at 8 weeks old. See how big and red the combs were, and how red the wattles were getting? I'm still saying yours is a female, at 10 weeks, she still has a nice pink comb and wattles.








And here's a pic of them when they were about 14 weeks old......

The 2 in the pic are 11 weeks old today. The male is close and female in the center. The females comb is black and the males is bright red, not showing much here
 
Awesome!!! Do you have any "big girl" pics of her? I'd love to see how she turned out. My SLW is a loud mouth too.

This is when it was cold out, they all rushed the door when I opened it and sat down to be warm. They looked so sad I let them sit there for a few minuets.
