Need an answer before D day. Girl or boy?

Rooster...his legs are too thick..

Can u get a better pic of the side of the bird??? At this point a really good tell are the saddle feathers. To me at this angle "he" looks like a "she", but then again it's not a great shot of the side. We gotta be able to see the shape of the saddle feathers.

The tail also doesn't look rooster-ish....unless it's just holding the tail straight, I know my rooster was VERY OBVIOUSLY a rooster based on tail, comb and wattles, and saddle feathers by 5 weeks of age....

Doesn't look like my pullets did at that age.
It can always get et later.

I say rooster, to light in color and the legs are thick.

Ohhhh! I've had that happen before and forgot about that. It could be the one that is at the top of the totem pole (pecking order). It's got a pretty shape, whether it is a hen or roo.

I'm voting pullet.

s/he is 19 to 20 weeks now. It is really hard to tell on the feathers. I was trying to tell if they were pointy or rounded. The ones around the neck don't look very pointy and the ones on the tail are kinda curly and soft looking. Its very odd looking. I think we might let this one stay home for now. I don't want to chance killing a hen.

That is a rooster. look how thick the legs are and how light the plumage is.

I'm not sure if its a hen or a roo. Here is a pic of my pullet at 17 1/2 weeks old. Her tail also sort of 'curves' under:

has it got spurs forming?
