Genotype of this hen?

[MysteryChicken]

Here he is, in front of one of his sisters, with their mother in the background. Still looks like a pullet to me, at 15,5 weeks. Most of the pullets are developing a red comb by now. What do you think? Still a cockerel, or do you think he is a pullet after all?

Pullet. I see no male plumage.

Pullet. I see no male plumage.

Everybody thought she was a cockerel, because of her/his black breast when she was younger. This is her at 4,5 weeks.

By 15 weeks you should tell by sound

Alright, this is weird, it looks like they don’t have any male-specific feathering. This reminds me of the pattern of some hatchery quality salmon faverolle hens, such as these:

They’re basically a really mixed up silver wheaten. However, I’ve never seen one start out looking like a duckwing cockerel.

What do you think this hen’s genotype is?
Her father is Fiftyfive Flowery silver, and her mother is either Cream Legbar/Swedish flower hen OR Cream legbar/Rhode Island red.

The 55 Flowery is e+/e+, B/B, S/S and mo/mo.

She is one of the darkest of these chicks, the others are her siblings.

This a 55 flowery Roo x cream legbar hen mix female.
Your chick is a male? Colored like a male. And they don't look barred, is there any other roosters that have been with your hens, even months back?

Could you please post some pictures of the parents/ possible parents

I notice it's been over a year since you posted this photo, so I assume the answer is clear by now. Did "he" start crowing or did "she" start laying eggs?

According to this thread she turned out to be a hen: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/black-breasted-chick-turned-out-to-be-a-hen.1588430/

Woah, I never saw this alert.
I did see the thread below though. Still so weird to me, I have no clue what the genotype is, it's the most androgenous looking plumage I've ever seen while still being round hen feathers. Phoenix hens who sometimes develop rooster feathers due to selection for long male plumage don't count.

RAA!
