I got home from work, went out to the coop, and to my dismay, one of my Easter Egger chicks has new feathers that look different. Am I being paranoid or do I have a cockerel?

Do I have a cockerel here? I'm planning to look at pictures tonight and review the types of feathering but this doesn't look good for me.

Looks like a pullet. That feather pattern make them look more pointed than they actually are. Pretty girl!

Thanks mymilliefleur! Everything I looked at while I was anxiously awaiting replies indicated that the cockerel would have a different color pattern as well as different shaped feathers.

It looks like a pullet to me :) But we can wait for the experts to weigh in.

I hope so! One thing that can throw me off is that I'm raising several different breeds and they might mature slightly differently and then I start to thinking..... ~;>
