Welsummer - Hen or Roo?

[rianrochelle]

Hi again -

Now I’m trying to figure out if this one is a Hen or Roo. It doesn’t have the black chest like most welsummer roo’s have but I’m still suspicious. These are all pics of just one Welsummer )not multiple birds). 11.5 weeks old. Any ideas?

It's a pullet.

Pullet!

She's pretty. She has an alert, thoughtful face.

 

[ShrekDawg]

That is DEFINITELY a pullet.

Ya clearly a pullet. Clearly the gold duckwing female pattern. Nothing points to being a cockerel, so...
Why are you suspicious?

I think just my ignorance. I thought maybe those neck feathers were starting to turn into hackles and maybe some saddle feathers happening. This makes me happy. She is definitely more dominant and leads the other girls.

I have two others I’m curious about but I’ll start a new thread for those!

Beautiful pullet!
