Hoping this is a Plymouth Rock Pullet, opinions please!

This is my hatchery pullet, Beatrice at 8 weeks--you can see she still has a dark grey wash on the front of her legs:

Here she is with the front of her legs more evident:

I vote she is a she looks just like our Blanch at that age. Also BRs have latger combs if she was a he it would probbably be starting to raise already.

I think its so funny anyone mentioned this...my dad is from mexico and this week came to visit me in montana and i have 3 chickens his mom when he was growing up kept chickens and she did the "upside down" trick and he said every chicken she sexed that way was correct ....just thought it was funny that anyone else brought it up.
 
Ok here are some updated pictures of Speckles. I tried mainly to get the legs .. but you can see come more face details in these photos as well as what the chicken does every time I turn it over onto its back.
Is this normal to roost down and lean to one side?

I'm voting Girl! Her legs are very dainty, not in the least rooish. She looks very much like my BR hens did at that age.
 
I still say girl , but don't always rely on the roll over thing cause I can turn my roos over and they will lay there but thats cause they are handled a lot at my house. I see dark legs and if she is full bred Rock then she is pullet no doubt.

Even my full grown roosters you can cradle them in your arms and they will lay there.
It just depends on how confident they are in you...
