Hen please? Shouldn’t I know at 18 weeks?

[GrandmaPaula]

18 weeks already! I have four Easter Eggers that are almost identical except for the one in the middle has a wild sickle feather on top of tail. She’s the one in the middle or front of each pic. Is this a rogue feather and she’ll grow into it? Or a roo? She is the most picked on. Her comb and wattle are developing at the same rate of the others. All four have rounded feathers and no foot spur.

I already had to rehome my first roo. Don’t know if I can take this!

It's just a wonky tail feather. All pictured are pullets.

Pullets

 

[AinaWGSD]

All pullets. They all have female specific coloring. Some girls just have curved tail feathers.

Yep, like the others said, she’s a pullet! I have a hen which I once suspected to be a cockerel when she was young because she had an iridescent sickle feather. I separated her just to be sure and found an egg in the cage later that day!
