I didn’t think 2 weeks made a difference but it did now that I look at the old pics! The comb is definitely more red than it was. I found a thread on here though that the poster said her SOE started laying at 14.5 weeks so maybe mine could still be a hen and she’s just going to lay sooner?? Give me some good news! lol! I put one in there with my other SOE…hopefully you can see similarities or differences in their feathers.(it hasn't been that long but I know how hard that wait it, we can take another look if you have any new pics!)
Also, she/he turned 12 weeks yesterday!(it hasn't been that long but I know how hard that wait it, we can take another look if you have any new pics!)
Found this on here….mine has a pretty red comb but not huge like this! And def don’t have wattles like that(it hasn't been that long but I know how hard that wait it, we can take another look if you have any new pics!)
The size, shape and color of the comb looks pullet like to me, are you absolutely certain on their age? She does seem a smidge older than 12 weeks, or maybe its just been a few months since my last babies were little lolI didn’t think 2 weeks made a difference but it did now that I look at the old pics!

The feed store said she was hatched 4/9 so she should be 12 weeks. I’m hoping that maybe this breed sometimes just matures sooner and she’ll be like that other post that started laying early!The size, shape and color of the comb looks pullet like to me, are you absolutely certain on their age?

I know isn't he so cuteHe’s got rust color in his chest too! Mine still hasn’t crowed and he/she’s 12 weeks today. The comb is still bigger than my other’s but not quite as dark and red as yours. Yours is so pretty! Love his fluffy cheeks!
I’m going to be so sad if mine turns out to be a roo cause I won’t be able to keep him eitherI know isn't he so cute! I wish I could keep him

Alright….14 week mark. I was told that’s the point where the saddle feathers will really be pointed and you can tell a roo…still thinking pullet?!The size, shape and color of the comb looks pullet like to me, are you absolutely certain on their age?

female specific coloring (red throat/black neck vs black throat/red neck) and while developed of course, the comb is still more pink, not rooster-red
