roo or hen?

[swindlechick]

Is this a rooster or a hen? I have a rooster that looks similar but is whiter, his legs are thicker, and his tail turns down. This ones legs are as thin as my buff orpingtons and its tail feathers point up like the others that I know are hens. also, the roo and this one are the same age and the roo's comb is significantly larger. Would like some opinions please.

What age? I'm leaning towards girl.

Looks like a pullet to me.

It is about 18-19 weeks old. Here's a pic of my roo for comparison

Oh yes! She is a pullet 100%

Oh thank you so much! Someone else tried to tell me it was a different breed than what I said and didnt believe me when I said I saw the parents lol. Youve helped me breathe easier.

Could you get a better side-profile photo of the bird in question? I'm not convinced it is a pullet.

I think I see rooster feathers on the neck. A side picture will help us out.

This is the best one I could get. Will try to get another one tomorrow unless this one is enough.

Yep, I see rooster feathers on the neck and saddle feathers.
