Pure Show Ameracauna Pullet or Roo??

[StargazerFarms]

Normally I'm reallt good at figuring out if my Ameracauna's are pullets or cockerels. This beautiful little Lavendar has me completely stumped though! I want this one to be a hem since we live in the city at this time but sometime after the 1st of the new year, we'll be buying our farm. I would love to have this Lavendar as a cockeral if we had the farmhouse already for breeding stock with my blues and black showline Ameracauna's. I'm going to post some photos of this little one. S/he is really friendly and let's me bathe him/her and is cuddly...for a chicken. I keep watching for spurs but I don't see any...yet. my gut says this one is a roo. Help me figure this one out...Please! S/he hasn't crowed or layed yet either. S/he is around 5 months old.

I think it's a rooster, maybe you could try a no crow collar for the time until you get your farm

Looks like a cockerel to me. That tail and what looks to be saddle hackles.

The tail looks a awkward due to loose feathering from a mini molt (age appropriate), those are not sickle feathers

That makes sense. Would explain what I thought was saddle feathers as well.

The tail feathers are what's making me question pullet or roo on this one.
