Rooster??????????

[nursefarfar]

First year with unsexed chicks. Bought this off a little farm on Vancouver Island. Wanting an easter egger so badly that I bought two hoping for one to be a pullet. I was told they were ameraucana x welsummer or RIR, she couldn't remember who the dad was. I can see the ameraucana but not sure about the other side. They are 8-9 weeks old now.
Her name is Esther,,,,,,,,,but thinking Esther might need a name change to something more masculine.


Is this a rooster???????????

X2 It seems as though the tail is curving to much to be a hen.

If I am being honest I do feel it is a rooster.
As we are a backyard chicken family and can't keep roosters, so small part of me keeps lying to myself that it is a pullet so that I can keep her.
Behaviour has been a little more rough than the others. First one to fly at your head or try to get out of brooder.
