Roo or Hen

[sweet100]

I'm new to chickens. I have three hens and got 3 more chicks 3 months ago. I'm concerned one may be a roo (though I'm holding out hope she's a she

) Has no comb to speak of, so I'm a little thrown off.

Can't have roosters in my neighborhood. The sooner I find out the better!
Thanks

Here is another view of his/her feathers. It's probably obvious to everyone else what sex it is, I think my entire house is in denial!!!!

hahaha! HELP! Love this little chicky!

Thank you!!! Any tips on how to tell the difference in the future?

if it were a cockerel, it's comb and waddles would be a much brighter red. also the waddles would be larger/ more pronounced.

100% a pullet.

That's a pullet. For EEs like yours, the gold top plus the brown body usually means pullet. Also see above re: wattles and comb.

She looks like my pullet.
