OK, you know the drill. 6½ weeks old. Dad (in the background of the 3rd pic) is a WL. Mom is either a BO or a RIR. I've been referring to it as a "she". Is it time to stop that?

I think it is a pullet.

I think it is a pullet.

OK, thanks. So what are the visual cues that lead you to that conclusion? I'm new at this, and don't really have a clue.

I would agree too, though it could be a tad early. I don't see any saddle feathers and it's comb is still fairly small and light

Small, pale comb. And the wattles are small. Those are the main things at that age. It would be a good idea to check again in a couple of weeks.

OK, that's good info. Thanks to both of you.

Her mom was the BO by the way
