I bought “her” as a sexed EE pullet about 7 weeks ago, but I’m not too sure. “Her” comb is the same same size and color as her sister’s, but the color has me worried, and the tail feathers are pretty curly. “She” is also visibly bigger than her sister. Please excuse the messy feathers, I took these right after feeding them mash!

Nothing about her is screaming cockerel. Her hackle feathers are the only thing.....it’s hard to tell if they are rounded or pointy. There aren’t any visible saddle feathers yet, either. Can you take a full body pic and post it???

Thank you! I’ve been worrying about too much, and need some second opinions. This is my son’s favorite, and it seems like all his favorites turn out to be boys!
 
Ok, it’s been a while since I posted this, but I wanted to bump it with updated pictures. I have my eye on a cockerel that I’d like to pick up this weekend, but I want to be completely sure that my pullet really is a pullet. “Her” comb is a lot bigger than her sister’s, and it’s pretty red.
