Is Sarah a roo?

[Josie]

Oh my, that is AWESOME!
Sarah is a mix with one leghorn parent, but I still feel better.
Last year we lost a chicken, and my daughter still talks about it.
Sarah is her fav, and we can't keep roos.

Upon closer inspection though of that tail area... don't get your hopes up too much. How old is she/he now?

 

[Josie]

In the picture she is 16 weeks old.

Hmmm. I'm suspicious of gender now... close to time for egg or crow... Do you think you could get closer to the hackles and sickles? Are they shiny and irredecent? He/she's a tricky one.

They are not irredecent that I can tell, but they are a little less opaque, if that makes any kind of sense. I can try to post more pics tomorrow. There is definitely a lot of pin feather coming in, as opposed my RIR.
