This is Gertrude. 17 weeks old. This last week those wattles have grown and become super red. Plus I am new but think I may see Saddle feathers? Anyone ?

I would say definately a girl. Any crowing? She would most likely be crowing now if she were a he... hope it helps.

No, that's a pullet. They pink up a little bit before they start to lay.

Whew. I was starting to get worried and no there is no crowing from her. I do have a pullet that crows. Well kind of just screeches really loud. Especially when we are eating outside and not sharing. But its a sex link and she has been just starting to nest. And tonight the Sex link practiced the egg song. Darn chicken. haha

Oooh and thank you for answering. I dont want a rooster but if the SLW turned out to be one.. I would probably have kept it because they are soo pretty.

Yep, Gert's a girl.
