I thought it was a girl....could it be a roo?

[Titania]

This little mille fleur d'uccle is 5 months old today (20 weeks). I kept it thinking it was a girl but now I have my doubts.
It acts aggressive to the other girls. And then it's getting these pointy sex feathers. The majority of the pointy sex feathers are on one half of its body. So, is it a slow-developing roo? Or a pullet still? Any input? I would really appreciate it!

No crowing, but then, none of my roos that I've kept up to 5 months have ever crowed. I live in the 'burbs & chickens are illegal so I could get in alot of trouble if I had one crow.

Here is the side with some sex feathers

and the side with less sex feathers

what do you think?

Im thinkin roo but im not experienced with Mille's. I will bump it up for ya anyway

I'm not either, but looks like it has hackle and saddle feathers and when added with that comb, I'm guessing roo also.

just by the body shape i say a roo .. absolutely gorgeous though

 

[Titania]

thank you both for the replies. I'm thinking you're right. D'uccle pullets have big red combs and wattles and their feathering is more similar to the roos than in other breeds. But the saddle/sex feathers and hackle just look too much like a roo.

I think you have yourself a roo there...
Mine are almost 3 months and they have little to no comb at all

 

[Tanichca]

Yeah, looks like a roo... Pretty, though.

On a different tangent, I love your username, Titania, it's very close to my own name in rl, Tatiana.... Beautiful!

[Titania]

The pointy saddle and hackle feathers don't lie... That's a beautiful D'Uccle roo.
