“Her” name is Jelly Bean and she’s five months old. One-quarter Silver Phoenix, otherwise a mutt for generations back (bantam/barnyard). “She” had two siblings that were obviously male, whom we’ve already rehomed. We don’t have room for another rooster.

She looks like a girl to me, but her uncle looked pretty similar at that age and turned out to be a rooster, so that’s why I’m asking. What do you think??

Sorry for the weird nighttime pics, that’s the only time she wants to stay still...

Looks like a pullet... she is absolutely stunning!
 
lovely pullet, she doesn't look to happy on the roost. Chickens don't grasp the roost like wild birds. They prefer to lay their feet out in front of them and rest their head on top to keep feet warm.Generally people use 2 x 4's for roosts with the wide (4")side up.
