I posted a week or so ago and the guesses were cockerel. New Pics at about 6 wks old now, does it look any more favorable for a Pullet??? Fingers crossed!!!!

Every EE roo over Barred Rock hen I've hatched, the boys ended up with barred feathers (not a "at hatch" trait I could see but one that as he grew I could see).

Thanks @Wishing4Wings! I'm trying to find a couple of probable pullets to send home with my brother this weekend.

Pullet or roo? Both are 6 weeks old. Thanks! Fingers crossed.

People are saying that the dark red feathering indicates roo, so probably one of each, but someone else will respond better

My questionable baby, my red one, it's vocal range is becoming a screech, so I do believe everyone saying roo is correct because "it" has a loud screech voice, sounds like a pelican lol

Comparing the two combs- especially that shot where you see them both together, your dark red with black/brown is a rooster, and the cream colored one with a brown/red head could be female. She has a nervously pink comb for six weeks, but by comparison of her brother, it looks alright so far.

I remember this one. Comb looks more pullet, coloring looks more cockerel. I say wait and see.

Watch the comb. If it doesn't grow and turn red in the next week or two, then you've got a pullet.

I had heard that most EEs this color turn out to be cockerels but I thought I would see a redder comb by now? I will post pick again in a week or so. Thanks
