Large BR Pullet about to be 36 weeks and hasn't laid!

I'm almost 100% sure that's a roo...
Handsome fella though!

Thanks. I guess I will have to continue to wait and see.

Nevermind... I think that's a hen...

Nevermind... I think that's a hen...

LOL, she's an absolute mystery. Maybe she's both?? It's been such a source of anxiety for me as we cannot have roosters in city limits.

Oh, dear...that is a problem.
That reminds me of a rescue chicken I took in a while back, it looked like a hen at first, but then it changed into a rooster... it started crowing is definitely a roo now.
This probably doesn't help, but it's worth a shot!

You could find out if she is laying by inspecting her vent and feeling the pelvic bones situated on each side of the vent:

If theres spurs coming in, no doubt its a roo. Sorry to be a pest, but could you take pics of the spur nubs?

It really just can’t be male.

She's a pullet.

Eggs shouldn't be too long.

Ok, here are the best and most recent photos I can get. I went through her body to get more precise pics. 36 weeks.

Nubs...not getting much larger than this

It's a girl.
I was not expecting the vent photo.

She/he is really pretty and rather patient. I love the eyeball in the lower rhs.
