Yet another roo or hen…

[TinyRaptorDodos]

Couldn’t find my old thread on Ducky.
Roo or hen? My friend and I both think hen but then again her tail… she is quite young but the tail is getting to me.
Her mom was a dark huge combed hen with a very long tail, her dad is a light Brahma

One of my hens did have long curly tail feathers but lost them on her first molt so maybe I’m overthinking it?

How old? Male specific tail feathers don't come in until 14 weeks ish

Good question… 3ish months? Maybe 2? I lost track I have way too many chicks.
I’ll find photo dates

It seems she hatched around June 1st

That’s kind of a tricky one. Her comb looks pretty red for eight weeks, but he/she doesn’t look as large or gangly as a cockerel would. I think this is a classic case of wait-and-see.

Brahmas are also slow developers so that could have something to do with it. I have a wyandotte pullet with these curly tail feathers fist pic is around 8 week’s second is around 14

Yeah her mom also did have a very large red comb and was probably a early maturer

Looks like a pullet

I'd say pullet.

That’s the tricky part- her mom was a fast maturer while her dad was a slow one so it’s a game of “which gene did she get for that”
