Pullet or Roo?

[cowgrl644]

Cockerel. He's got the brittle feathers typically associated with the Lavender gene. The saddle feathers are difficult to distinguish, but there is no mistaking those flowing, Fabio style hackle feathers.

There are 2 of them. Thinking they are both Roos

Alright, today I'm back with more pictures!

And I think I'm still stumped, but leaning back toward pullet.. maybe? She's gotten a lot more social, in part because my dad spent a lot of time with them when we were gone (and he was the one who didn't even want these chickens! )
She's still jumpy and hates being picked up, but once you have her she usually calms down. She actually has been approaching me now when I give them mealworms, which is new for her!
I've heard no attempts at crowing, even with me handling her to get these pictures (and she wasn't happy about that at all!). So maybe that's a good sign?

Anyways here she is at about 9 weeks old.
Special appearances by my other girls.. my 10 week old EE and 8 week old BOs, who also wanted some of the spotlight.

It doesn't look like a cockerel to me.

Ok so, I'm definitely thinking pullet. At this age, if it were a cockerel, I would think the comb would be more prominent with possible crowing. I know some start later, but you would probably notice more rooster-like behavior (how does he/she interact with the other chickens?). *could* be a late developing roo, but I kind of doubt it. Again, I'm not an expert. But I'm leaning towards pullet once again

I have 5 week olds with big combs who are crowing already! They aren't SLW cockerels, still, that's the age I've noticed a lot of our Roos tend to get their, ahem, hormones.

Sorry! I totally missed your reply until now!
She's kind of independent, honestly. Like I said, she likes to hang around my EE, but she's started to venture out on her own. She's definitely the most skittish of all my chicks, but she's getting a little beaver every day.
I let them out of the coop for the first time tonight, and she was the first to venture out!
Thanks for your help, I'm pretty sure she's a pullet now too.. my mind will finally be at ease when she lays an egg, though!
