What do I have gender?

I just got a home for my EE roo, now I'm a bit worried I have GLW Roo. She is a bit small for her age around 5-6 weeks (she was raised with a duck) I tried to get pics of legs too. I read here somewhere, that GLW combs color out earlier? So is it a she or he?

Look on its back. Check for saddle feathers. Saddle feathers are narrow and pointy. Hens have wide and fluffy feathers on their backs. If your not quite sure yet, check in a couple of weeks. Good luck!

Thanks, I see the ones around her neck are rounded.

Looks like a hen to me. You'd be seeing more red if it was a roo at this stage.

It's a little early to look for pointed saddle and hackle feathers. They typically won't start developing until around 12 weeks.

I think that's a hen. I've got one just like is as a gimme with a bunch of slw's. I'm going to keep her.

Agreed, too early for pointed feathers, but at this point it looks like a pullet!

I understand being a bit gunshy at this point since you already found one cockerel!
