looks like a hen to me...
by this age she would have a much bigger crest


luke.
 
She's a she. It sounds like she just has a very dominant personality. A SS cockerel at this age would look very different from a pullet.
 
Thanks everyone - - -- We have played the pullet, roo, pullet, game with this bird for the last couple of months. I was buying roo earlier because she was trying to crow and was the leader of the pack . . .

HOWEVER, since then her comb and wattle have not devloped anymore than her fellow hatch mates AND the saddle and hackle feathers have not developed.

She still runs up to everyone with her hackle feathers puffed out and she is still boss of her little group.
