Pullet or roo

[Daisymum]

I’ve been struggling with this Ermie ameracauna. I’m not sure if this one is pullet or cockerel. What do you all think? 11 weeks old I can’t have a rooster so I am praying this is a hen!

At 11 weeks I would expect to see a much darker comb on a cockerel. I'm voting pullet.

Don't panic when it starts getting darker after this point. Pullets combs and wattles (if they have them) will start to get dark as they mature and get ready to lay.

Wait for others to weigh in.

Thank you. She’s just so much bigger than the other one. I’m really hoping this is a hen so they both can stay and integrate them into my flock of three girls I currently have. It’s been a rough 6 months with losing 3 chickens and I had one left. I’m hoping I can keep them all. I’m not allowed to have a roo. I’m just glad I use a hatchery that will rehome roosters. She finds good homes for all her roosters.

I agree with redinator, I would expect a much redder comb in an 11 week old cockerel. I would also expect the saddle feathers to be at least starting to be visible and I don't see any hint of pointy saddle feathers.
