mille fleur d'uccle - hen or roo?

[inufreecs]

I ordered a female mille fleur d'uccle online back in June and am suspecting that she might might actually be a roo. I’ve seen her challenge our (much bigger) cockerel a few times but didn’t think much of it until i saw our other bantams egg was fertile.

What do you guys think?

I would say that a rooster.

Pullet. I raise D´Uccles and she looks like a hen. Her comb is large for a D´Uccle hen because their combs are known for being petite but I had a goldneck D´Uccle with a comb her size.

Oh really?? That’s good to know! I was wondering about her comb size

Definitely a pullet.

Pullet with an unusually large comb. A rooster would have long hackle, saddle, and tail feathers by now.

I say pullet. I use to have a flock of Porcelain D' Uccles. And the cockerels always had very different coloring and feather type. Plus it's not uncommon for a pullet to challenge a rooster. My GLW use to do that with my rooster, but she always lost. Now she just submits to him.

Your hen looks show quality. Very exceptional looking feather pattern.
