Hi all! So this white chicken, my kids named Frosting, is my absolute favorite. Frosting is so sweet and 6 weeks old. I believed it to be a hen but the tail feathers are worrying me. She has absolutely no comb you can see in one of the pictures the comb one of her rooster hatch mates has. What do you guys think? I already have too many roosters so I don’t want to get too attached if it’s a roo :(

Tail feathers mean nothing at this age, id say pullet but let's see the comb.
Don't encourage them to get on your shoulders, too close to your eyes.
Oh good advice!! I do always make her get down. Because i ain’t about to have poop all over me.
