To keep or not to keep?

[QuailQT]

I have to reduce my flock and I love my Campine cross (?) hen below. Her eggs have a very nice oval shape and are quite different from the other hen's eggs that I get. Anyway, here is a picture of her.

I only ended up with one chick out of the eggs that I hatched from her. I would like to keep it if it's a pullet, but I just can't tell for sure! The saddle feathers are looking a bit pointy to me.

I would just like some opinions. Here are some pictures.

Afraid of that! What other indicators were there besides the pointy saddle feathers? I just couldn't tell!
What a bummer!

besides the feather tell tales, my opinion is that the mens have the stern look int eh face, and my roosters have all had that curvy growing comb thing happening....means the comb willbe large.

And FYI, it was the same on my leghorns. the males comb curved and the girls' didnt.

Roos will also have thicker legs, but that's not always a dead give away.

Forgot about the leg thing too.
Darn, darn, darn.... I was so hoping I was wrong and it would be a hen! Thanks a bunch everyone!

Total roo...hope you decide to keep him. It looks like he is going to be a very interesting looking bird when he matures.

very pretty but definitely a roo. just look at those saddle feathers

Most definitely a roo, but I think he's a downright gorgeous fellow (what unique coloring!) and will produce some interesting chicks when he grows up! I hope you decide to keep him regardless.
