I've gotten comments that S/he is the dreaded cockerel.

Just hoping that he looks more like a She this week!?

She is the coolest bird EVER. <sniffle>

Ok is it mostly the development of the comb that hints the rooster? I sort of got the age a little mixed up so I believe shes more like 4 month old. Does that change anything? Or no... Probably not... Thanks! Anyone else have opinions? Thoughts?

Here is my pullet at 16 weeks old.  She never did develope muffs. or is it tuffs?  You know what I mean...the whiskers.  No comb to speak of yet.

She's really pretty!

Some EEs just don't get the muffs and it's just fine. :)

Thanks.  Here is my other EE.  16 weeks also.  The birds are in their taxi.  I put them in there to take them out to the tractor or to the back yard.  They love their taxi.  It means going to play!

Looks like we three have veeeeeery similar birds here! Frankie was born on Mothers day, so she was 5 weeks this weekend. The current photos posted are from 4 weeks old. I need to go take more photos!

Please please please let Frankie be a she!!! (& joe too, if that's the plan!) Simmons.... I hope my bird develops some more difference from yours! & quick!
