Thank you all for the input! Would love to hear what more people have to say. She is in a pen with two IB males that are the same age as her and their trains are much more developed than her tail...which is just slightly longer than the other hens in the pen. The eggs they hatched out of were ebay eggs and I think the one she hatched out of said MBS on it. No record of spalding......but who knows!

I agree with Dany and Othman. Spalding black shoulder hen. Probably 25% or so green blood.

The Spalding are more beautiful than the blue ... and at least 2X Smarter!

I would bet this to be a cock, did I lose the bet? This thread is making me doubt myself now.

I'd bet my house that is a male, look at that lacing on the back, hens never develop that pattern on their back/shoulders.
