Roo or pullet ??? & breed?

[Fluffy&Cutie]

That tail feather looks like Roos?

I have a leghorn mix who keeps getting more and more black spotted feathers as he ages! He used to be pure white with one black spot until he was 5 weeks old, now he’s about 14 weeks.

Wow! That's a beautiful bird!!! He looks more like the tetras (leghorn X ?) I saw online. So beautiful he took my breath away.
I too am super interested in the tail. I thought roo, but, everyone seems to think pullet. I am far from expert. She has an awesome personality!
we will see!
Thanks for the input.

Glad she still looks like a pullet! Oh...Sapphire...another X to research!!! The guessing is so much fun! Thanks.

If she happened to be a Sapphire she would likely lay blue eggs.

Thank you! He sure is my pretty boy! I’ve never even heard of tetra breed? Doesn’t seem to have a lot of info on them either after a quick google search! Whatever he is, he started to get golden feathers on the wings and tail about a week ago! He is the sweetest rooster and always loves to be around people. Sometimes we would keep our door open and he would come in and jump on the back of the couch and watch tv with us.

I thought my "Leghorns" turned out to be "White Rocks" but around 12 weeks they got brown patches and ended up being Amberlinks lol. They're really pretty & actually pullets so I can't complain. I still think yours is a pullet, you can keep an eye on her for any male feathering the next few weeks though. It usually comes in between 12-15 weeks.

How fun this is! I can't wait to see what color eggs!!!! It will be a hint closer to the mystery! Lol! Thanks.

I d never heard of tetras either...but there is a link here on BYC. They are actually called Tetra Tints. Awww, I love your roo. He sounds so sweet!

How funny! Never a dull moment in chickenland! I was researching Amberlinks too! Either way I ll be happy. What does male feathering look like?

i keep researching chickens...and i found a columbian rock. it reminded me of your pretty bird. just wanted to share.

I think saddle feathers, the ones right before the tail on the back, are the easiest to look for. They'll be thin & pointed on a male and rounded on a female.
