Looks like a pullet. Very similar looking to one of my old EE hens.

Edit: Did not notice the red tint on the shoulders at first glance. Now more undecided. Post again in a couple weeks, it will be more clear then.

I'm seeing a bit of comb development and looks like it might be pinking up, plus darker red coming in on the shoulder. This one might be a cockerel.

The darker red seemed like it's more on the breast, not the shoulders to me, but I don't know.

Red on the breast means absolutely nothing when it comes to Easter Eggers. I've had plenty of cockerels that looked like pullets at 6 weeks, red chests and all, only for them to be very obvious cockerels at 8 weeks old.

Hard to guess, I'd give it 2 more weeks, the red coloring of the bird makes it hard to judge when looking at its wings\shoulders. Slight patch of red there but not enough to give it away as a cockerel or pullet yet.

But if I had to guess, I'd lean more towards pullet at the moment.

All I was saying was that I didn't see any red on the shoulders, I only saw it on the breast. That's all.

i'm thinking pullet, but I could be wrong.
