Rooster or Hen?

[katbarrowcliff]

This is Rug. My 5year old son named it. It's an 11 week old Ameraucana. Not super vocal. Just curious if anyone can offer an opinion as to whether Rug is a hen or a rooster?

Rug is actually an Easter Egger rather than a true Ameraucana (true Ameraucanas have slate blue legs). The shots are a bit distant and not good shots of the comb (male EEs have three rows of peas in their combs, female EEs have only a single row), but based on what I can see Rug looks appears to be a pullet.

Rug looks like a pullet from the given photos.
She does not seem to have saddle or cape feathers growing. Most roosters will have larger combs, spurs, long saddle feathers and cape feathers. I'd consider re-naming her for a more feminine name.... maybe Rugina?

Rug is an EE hen

Since Rug isn't a recognized variety she is actually an Easter Egger, which is a crossbreed that lays colored eggs. Also, she looks like a pullet.
