Late to the party, but I see more male traits. Saddle feathers, and hackle feathers that are beginning to fall long around front of neck. If it lays an egg in a cage separate from the rest, then it’s female. Otherwise, I’m seeing male traits.

I have a Lavender ameraucana looks just like that but mine is a Rooster I gonna say maleplease tell me this is a hen LOL. I bought them from a store, probably a month ago now. 1 was laying when I got her, the other one started letting about two weeks ago. This specific "hen" is not laying yet. She goes in the nesting box every day, but doesn't lay anything. Today I caught her fighting and mounting my other hen. They probably are around six months, I think they have just started laying. This hen is the loudest, yelling in the morning, but not crowing. I just wanted to double-check that it is in fact a hen and not a young rooster. They're supposedly americana's, they have cheek Puffs and a beard. This one has a middle part on top of its head.
Sorry. Not a hen. Notice the bright red comb and waddles.
If that is a male.....there should be crowing by now.
I still say female.
Does the bird have spurs on it's legs? A cockerel/rooster will have spurs, but pullets/hens do not.
