So this is one of 10 Easter Eggers from Stromberg's sexed as pullets as day olds.
The coloring looks like a roo to me but it doesn't act like a roo? This is the first time I've had EEs so maybe I'm missing something obvious?
What do y'all think?
7 week old Easter Egger, pullet or roo?

If that shoulder feathering is more rusty than it appears in the photo, I would be confident in guessing cockerel. I'm still leaning towards that. Not sure. Comb looks well developed for 7 weeks.
I would say roo his comb looks alittle big yet

Cockerel
I do think he's a he. At 7 weeks they're still babies, so there's not always a lot of difference in behavior between the sexes...or not enough to use it as a reliable gender indicator.
12 wk suspected pullet. Vs my 12 suspected roo

I'll try to get a picture of her but, at nearly 12 weeks she's got rounded saddle feathers, a huge fluffy butt, low posture, no crowing, and our roo is treating her like all the other girls! Her comb hasn't grown anymore or become more red. I'll post back if we get crowing or an egg!
