Hi all -- I've read a lot, but never posted before. I ordered a mix of all pullets including three Easter Eggers (sold as such, not Amerucana or Arucana) and the tail feathers on the one have me a little worried. Its comb is still small and light-colored, though. It's 13 weeks old. Thanks for any insight! :)

I have a few EEs that I raised from chicks. This one looks a lot like my rooster. With my birds, there is a noticable difference in the feathers around the neck; the roo's are longer, thinner, and not as soft. He also stands tall, more vertical than horizontal, when compared to his sisters. And on mine, the comb definitely turned red before the pullets' did. I'd say you have a rooster.
 
Thanks, y'all. Here's a closer photo of the face, although it's not super-clear. It does walk more upright than the other two EEers I have, though.

 
I have EE roos of very similar age as yours. Their comb aremuch larger than this one, but those neck and tail feathers are looking like a roo. Any crowing yet?

No crowing yet, but I went back out yesterday and studied all the combs and this one's is pinker than the other two Easter Eggers, so I suspect he's a Roo.
