Hen or Roo (Easter Egger, 12 weeks old)

Experts, what do you think? Hen or roo? I have some other roo ee's who have pronounced hackle and saddle feathers than Parsnip here, but Parsnip is larger than the hens.

Thanks in advance,
Allyson

Better Pictures would help. Pea comb for a female is one row and male has three rows of peas.

Pictures are not definitive, but I will 'guess' pullet.

My apologies for the shoddy camera quality, I have a cheap phone. This is Parsnip about two weeks ago from the front.

NP, I take horrible chicken pics. Looks like a pullet to me.

It’s a hen. Not to mention you would have heard crowing by now.

I have heard sad attempts at crowing when inside my house, but there are 3 confirmed roos so without seeing them there's no telling who it was lol. I'm glad to know that several folks think Parsnip is a hen. She's my favorite and I'm hoping for bright blue eggs since her legs are bright blue.

That’s awesome. Usually the friendliest babies are roosters!

Okay guys. I got a close up of Parsnip this morning. Do we still think pullet?
