Hoping for a hen?? — starlight green egger

[Pretty Birds]

UPDATE: the girl at the feed store I bought her from is thinking she is a rooster. Before I give her away. Can anyone confirm. She does seem to have red wattles coming in now. Here is a couple pics from this morning.

She still looks like a pullet to me.

Something in my gut says a sneaky little cockerel...

I kept her she is about 9 weeks old now. Still so sweet and docile but does have a red comb and little red wattles... still hoping she is a hen. We love her so! Here is a pic of her today.

Awe man!! Say it isn’t so.... ha! Ok well I’m thinking I will still hold out for the small chance that she could still be a she. Or maybe I will just try and keep him. And he will be a sweet quiet rooster. If there is such a thing. I swear I’ve never heard her make a peep. Not a single little chirp.

Cockerels dont crow until they're a but older. And then they sing their song all day long for a while. Some calm down after they're about a year. Some dont.
