Saddle Feathers?

[M Brennen]

This is an 8 week old Araucana. Are these saddle feathers even though there is no real evidence of a comb or waddles?

Pointed male specific saddle feathers won’t start growing in for a couple of weeks yet. If you’re concerned she is a he post some clearer pics of the tail area when she’s about 13/14 weeks old

Thanks for your reply. I already have two fairly confirmed roosters and don’t have room for more. Every time I start to question another aspect of the male species (Size and color of comb and wattles, saddle feathers, thicker legs, etc), I start to panic. Sometimes I start to see males in many of my birds (hopefully needlessly). I think I am worrying too much.
