I was wondering if a hen can have pointed neck feathers. One of my 7 week old chicks (that is the offspring of a banty mut hen and cornish X) has a small greyish yellow comb, is very quiet and withdrawn when others try to pick a fight, doesn't try to crow (my roos are trying, but sound funny), and has tail pointed down. I was thinking hen, but the pointed neck feathers makes me wonder if it's a late bloomer rooster. The other roos have pink combs and upward pointed tails. I thought maybe someone here might be able to help before I introduce it to a coop with 3 banty hens and 1 rooster. Here's a couple bad pics ( It didn't want it's picture taken ).
