Plymouth White Rock -- Princess or Prince?

[Lynci00]

Hi All! We got four chicks from our local feed store (born around March 9th). This is our first time with chickens and they were feather sexed. Unfortunately we can't have roosters in our city, so wanted all hens. We are almost at the 3 month mark and worried that our PWR we call "Princess" has to be renamed to "Prince"... . Our youngest daughter named her so go figure!

He/she used to be the runt but now has caught up. Hoping I'm just a newbie and I'm not in denial so we can keep "Princess". Anyway, we now have big red comb, some waddles, also checking out the saddle feathers but can't really tell. Any help because the suspense is killing me!

Here's a great thread with lots of good advice, should you plan to keep him (although not all roosters are aggressive, I still find this helpful)

Note: only specific hybrids can be feather sexed. White Rocks are not one.
