Pullet or Cockerel...

[Kris_10]

OK, the husband and I are newbies to the chicken game... initially, we thought a pullet, but I am now questioning if Lizzie might be a Lennie? I hope the pics are clear enough. I'm questioning my photog skills today LOL

I do not know her exact age... any help (which I know could be all over the board) would be helpful. I've noticed some feathers around the saddle looking a bit pointy, but not unless she flaps her wings. The hackle feathers might be getting pointy, but being new, I might be paranoid she's gonna be a Roo.

Could you try to get some closer pictures of the saddle area? It's looking like a boy, but it's hard to see the feathers with the barring.

That's what I'm afraid of... the gentleman we purchased her/him from will take her back and swap if she's a he. We don't want a rooster (yet)

Can you ask him for her age? Unless she's near POL, she's almost definitely a boy.
