Green Queen (or King)

Got some chicks from Meyer 17 weeks ago and I’m thinking this is the Green Queen. Also looking like this one may be a “he.” Thoughts?

Looks like a queen to me

Same, if you look at the base of the tail you can see the feathers have soft edges rather than being small and sharp(like a rooster's saddle feathers). But I can see the 'he' vibes for sure lol!

She's a pullet

A pretty pullet.

Definitely a pullet. At 17 weeks a cockerel's comb would be much redder and the saddle and hackle feathers would be narrow and very pointed.

The feather pattern is deceiving, they look pointy because of the black at the center. But if you look closely, you can see that the feather itself is rounded.
