Hen or roo? **UPDATED PICS***

[Quarterhorses1]

The saddle feathers so far look round. My guess is female.

Yay thank you so much!

Female CQs have different coloring than the males, so I think you are safe with this one. She's a she.

Thank you so much! What is the male coloring?

I'm seeing no evidence of gender specific male pointy saddle feathers in the pics.. can you see anything different in person?

Images from google starting around 12 weeks in most non hen feathered breeds..

In other words.. I'm also going with pullet!

ETA: but on the fence.

White I think

White I think

Oh ok! I’ve never had this breed if you can’t tell already

Silvery white with red leakage at shoulders, most likely. The CQ cross is a gold male (Rhode Island Red) over a silver female (silver laced Wyandotte). This cross gives gold females and silver males for offspring, and your pullet is definitely gold.

Wow! Thank you so much for all the help!

I have a red Sexlink. Two different breeds of parents to create a chick who is identified at hatch to what sex they are. It's the way to go if you don't want roosters.
