I know they can! The blue pullet I used to have tricked me into thinking she was a rooster! She had a tiny swept back crest and rough, pointy hackles, and a rooster attitude. She was always chasing the others and nipping bacause she was the dominant hen (which I later figured out). Everything pointed to rooster and even the people at the hatchery thought she was a rooster when I went to give her back. A month or two later I went back to get pullet chicks of a different breed and the guy said she ended up being a pullet. Here is a pic of her.

I would have guessed pullet on this one here. She has such a girly face! The hatchery silkies do not do the breed justice. Their top knots are so small!
What did you name your new girl?
XD Those were my very first chickens so what did I know. Once I saw the other hens at the hatchery I kinda knew I messed up. Anyway I named my new girl Luna and nicknamed her Mockingbird because she has her own trademark series of chirping in all different ways and she sounds like the mockingbird in my front yard
She looks alot like the pullet you posted pictures of!
