Roo???

She's a pullet, but not an Australorp.

I got the bird from a hatchery in California called Hilltop Farms. I will try to get a close up of the head. I'm so glad most of you think it's a hen!! I did not want to have to rehome a rooster.

I noticed white earlobes so it may be a white egg layer.

Here are some up close photos of her comb

Easter egger or olive egger pullet

Are you sure that's an australorp? Cause I see a pea comb, and they have straight comb. Do you have a better closeup picture of her comb from the front?

Either way, no wattles at all at 11 weeks, light pink comb = pullet.

I have a Blue Andalusian that has a similar stature. I think they can breed blue, black or splash. Just an idea.

Definitely a pea comb. I think it's a colored egg layer (aka EE) of some sort. Often pea comb is tied to the blue egg gene (there are a few exceptions, but she doesn't look like them). What other genes she has is anyone's guess, and will determine egg color. (blue, green, olive, ??)

Andalusians have single combs. Single comb is recessive to pea comb, so pea combs can’t pop up in single comb populations without one parent having a pea comb.

If this is heterozygous pea, one parent *could* be an andalusian
