Speckled Sussex - Roo or Hen?

[Jdorsey]

Hello! We are new to all this and got chickens for the first time this year! We got them as 2-day old chicks and they are now 9 weeks old. We have one Speckled Sussex that we are beginning to wonder the sex of! He/She is very sweet and has never been dominate or aggressive. Can anyone look at these pictures and let me know what you think?? Thanks!

I'm very curious about the tail too as I have a baby that's very feminine except that tailfeather that curls.

I think it is a pullet....

Pullet also

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed you all are right. We were pretty concerned about the tail but it doesn’t sound like that’s a factor?

I also think pullet. SS cockerels usually have more white on their breast at this age, and a bigger comb.
Love the SS hens!

I'm thinking she's 100% pullet
