Lavender EE - What do we think of that tail?

[Echelontheory101]

Hi all!

I have 11 chickens that are 13 weeks old I'm pretty sure I've got all pullets but I am a little unsure about this one lavender Easter Egger just because her feathers on her tail seem to be doing a little bit of the swoopy thing but because of her coloring and her comb I'm still thinking pullet but curious if anyone has any different opinions?

Thanks!

At this age imma say pullet as I see no pointed hackle or saddle feather and that comb is quite pale

I'm pretty sure that's a pullet. The comb and wattles would've pinked up way earlier if it was a cockerel.

I also think "girl".

Bearded birds don't have wattles as beards and wattles are mutually exclusive traits

I don't read anything into tails until a bird is way beyond the age of sexing by about every other method.
I surely wouldn't question that bird from that tail with that comb.

The 'wattels' was a habitual typo, lol

Thanks all! Thats what I was thinking too, everyone's combs are all very pink or yellow with really none getting red but Im new to sexing and think I definitly put too much significance on checking tail feathers for sure haha so wanted to check with folks here. Shes also the most talkative of the group but think it's just her trying out her adult honking chicken noises vs her chick cheeps since hens are just as noisy in my experience haha

I do that all the time is have a mix of breeds and its become habit to just say combs and wattles together like it's one word haha

Fair, I certainly have made typos like that. Usually when I type sqft instead of ft
