Pullet or roo?

[Branch Chickens]

Pictures of our 3 week old EE. She/he was sexed as a female, but with all the "black and white means rooster" that I've seen here on BYC, I'm starting to wonder. The feathers came in brown and black at first, and now the chest and upper wing feathers are showing black and white melding into the brown and black. The pattern seems very even, at this point.
You know how it is...you try to say, "We'll just wait and see," but this one we all love, and we already know that one of our sexed Welsummer pullets is actually a roo.

I think the first two are pullets...the last one? Not so much...could be a roo, but only time will tell. You'll know when they crow!!

Thanks! They're actually all the same chick, so I'll take your guess as 2/3's+ pullet.

The last pict is EXACTLY what my ee looked like when SHE was a chick.

Oh my gosh, they really DO look alike! I just stalked your photos

Is the lookalike Candy or Benzo?
Your flock is beautiful.

It is too young to tell, but I don't see any obvious rooster traits yet.

When is a good time to start making more accurate guesses?
