help with buttercup sexing

[scheelgrl]

Hi alll! A friend gave me this buttercup, told me it was a hen but im not too sure! He/she is about 10 weeks old in this photo. Came to me with a bare baci, so it is growing new feathers at its tail base.... Thanks in advance for any input!

Oh .... Well maybe not a buttercup then. Idk reaally, was a giveaway, and i thought he would be happier in less crowded surroundings so i guess he will stay regardless..... Unless he is unruly! Lol. Thanks for youralls input!
