Hen? Breed mix?

[RobynD]

This chick is 14 weeks old. We had said several weeks back that she was a hen. I'm only questioning because she is so big! It doesn't show here, but she dwarfs the other chicks the same age. So is she still a hen? And if so any thoughts on breed mix?

She's a pullet.

She looks like the typical Easter Egger pullet coloring. Though she is lacking a beard and green legs.

Hen for sure. You won't find a male chicken colored like her. I'm not sure on the breed, though.

Well that's interesting, that roos don't have this coloring! Hen it is!

Well, girls 9, boys 1! Poor boy will have to leave soon No Roosters allowed here.

Thanks everybody!

I agree, hen. It's true, you won't see a rooster that color. She does have the classic Easter egger look, but without the beard/muffs and dark legs. She could be an ee mix, I can't see her comb really well but it doesn't look like a straight comb so she may have a chance of laying colored eggs for you.
