Easter Egger-Coloring/Feathering/Beak??

[DLKChick82]

This chick is just about to be 6 weeks old, and I'm wondering if the coloring lends hen or roo (she was marked as a pullet)? I can't really tell if the hackle feathers are pointed or not, I'm still new and the coloring makes it hard to tell. Also, I noticed a couple of weeks ago, it seems her beak doesn't close all the way...she eats and drinks fine, but not sure if there is anything I can do to help? Thank you!

Too early to tell really but she looks like a pullet to me. Feathers won’t be good indicators until closer to twelve weeks. I wouldn’t worry about her beak unless it effects her quality of life. She looks ready to move out of the brooder though

Pullet - beak does not appear to be a serious threat to her health.

Yes, we are getting a much bigger crate tomorrow! Currently building the coop, but they are definitely ready for a bigger space. Thank you!

Pullet, her pattern is female specific.

Thank you, I thought so but again, I'm new to this and wasn't sure now that I'm seeing the hackle feathers. She has big legs and it much larger than the others, so I keep second guessing!
