I bought a bunch of roos from meyer hatchery's frying pan special however, I just had one squat into the defensive position that my layers do. Do all chickens do the wings out squat? Only my layers have done it in the past.

How old? I'm leaning towards pullet

Those feathers look kind of Rooish to me...

that looks like a pullet but an age would help

15 weeks

At that age, I see a pullet, but it could be a slowly maturing rooster.

At that age I'm leaning toward pullet for sure although they are usually slow maturing birds, there would be some sign of a roo at that age.

Thank you all! We're setting the chicken aside from the butchering today with hopes that it is indeed a pullet.

Looks like a pullet =) nice dark neck feathers probably fooled them. I have three myself, sure one is a roo but not sure of these two, would someone please help?
