Questionable gender

[rkingram]

This is a 21 week old dominant copper. It hasn’t laid any eggs yet but also resembles a rooster. It also hasn’t tried to cock-a-doodle-doo either. It’s significantly smaller in size than my dominant copper hens, which started laying around 17 weeks old. I need someone with more experience to help me out! I’m a newbie chicken keeper and this is my first flock (15 total).

A belated welcome to BYC. She's a pullet.

Yup! No rooster hackle/saddle feathers so she is a pullet!

Thank y’all! I wonder if she has a bit of bantam to her. She is super small and has a beard. I bought her from our local farm store back in February.

Maybe she's an OE that got mixed in with the marans
