Pullet or Cockerel

[sourland]

They are not truly pointed. It is an optical illusion because of the coloring as others have stated.

Great minds on the same track.

EEs usually lack a comb

This bird has female specific coloring, pullet.

They generally do, but that bird has female specific coloring, and it's the coloring rather than the shape of the hackle feathers that gives that 'pointy' appearance - sort of an optical illusion.

Thanks, just wanted to be 100% oercent sure. I tend to have brain farts. She's such a pretty Easter Egger!

Not a great picture, but as you can see the pointed feathers again on my girl.

You can see that the feathers aren't actually pointed...
