Prairie Bluebell - male or female?

Does this prairie bluebell look like a male or female? It's around 7 weeks old.

Agree with @Party_Chicken but I dont believe that is a Prairie BB. Granted, they do come in a lot of different colors, but you wouldnt find that one that is solid black.

If you look at the pads of her feet, and they are white, you have a Black Australorp. If they are yellow, a Jersey Giant Both will lay brown eggs.

I believe it is a pullet. It looks just like my bluebell prairie egger. She started laying blue eggs at about 6.5 months. She is smaller than my Rhode Island reds or my barred rocks.

Australorps really "shouldn't" have those light eyes though, that I see on my green eggers. Obviously that's not a "breed breaker" when it comes to hatchery quality, but j/s. I think an Australorp should also have a bit more sheen by this point, but maybe I'm not remembering 100% when that really becomes apparent.

The comb looks like a modified pea to me

I do have a Prairie Bluebell Hen from Hoover's and she is solid black.
Sorry can't figure out how to attach a photo.
