Not sure if this is a Roo or Hen? I have 2 more identical to this one! Just trying to figure out if it’s a Roo!

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

At about 12 weeks of age for *most* breeds you can start seeing pointy saddle feathers developing. Many breeds will have them flowing like the 2nd photo (from google images) by about 16 weeks of age. What are the age of yours?

Do the other two have the same comb type and size/color?

It could be an Easter Egger since there is no standard of perfection, anything goes.. bearded or non, any feather color pattern, comb type (though pea is original), skin color, etc.. So that may be accurate.

I do think the first poster is correct, admitting their eye saw it before me and I had to look closer at the fine details before coming into agreement.
