Please tell me I have a pretty pullet!

This lil mutt is about 8 weeks old. Her mom is a buff Brahma and her dad is a white mutt with black leakage, presumably carrying the barred gene. This chick is so sweet and also enormous compared to its half-siblings. I think it’s a she!

The last photo was when the chick was six weeks old, but I added it to show the feathered feet.

Can you get some photos of her tail/saddle feathers? Based off comb, it looks like a girl.

Boy, that’s a pea comb.

Why would a pea comb indicate a male? Mom has a pea comb, and dad has a rose comb.

No, but it’s a very large pea comb.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to get one in the next few days but I didn’t see anything indicative of a male in terms of saddle feathers. However I have an untrained eye!

x2 a pullet at this age would have a very small comb considering it has a pea comb

No, but it’s a very large pea comb.

It’s mom is an enormous bird though, as big as or slightly larger than the dad. I don’t have pics of the siblings, but all of their combs seemed like the same size to me. One had a rose comb the others are all pea. The other three siblings have EE moms but the same dad. They are way more flighty so I haven’t been able to get any pics of them.

I’m really feeling (but I’m biased) it’s a pullet. None of the other three chicks really stand out as male either though so I know some of them have got to be males! No one is that lucky lol
