Looks like a pullet (young female) to me.  How old is she?  She has very pretty markings. :)

Hi
I have very limited experience but judging by the comb I would 'guess' female, however what age is the bird? Can you get a picture of it including its legs?

going by our girls and your picture - i'm pretty sure its a girl and they might well be laying every other day between them so that you have an egg each day. ours do that. pretty looking gal :)

looks female to me, she is very pretty, and surely should be laying by now, nice rounded 'hen' look, but I'm more fascinated by the 'singing', pity we can't get recordings on here :).

The only way I managed to get a video on here was to put it on photobucket, then put the link on here.

She's a very pretty girl!! :D

Oh what a pretty girlie!  Sweet little thing! :)
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!
