Everyone is 50/50 on whether this is a pullet or cockerel 😂

[TheNewFeathers]

I've posted this chick a couple times, but so far no one can identify if this is a cockerel or pullet. Votes are consistently 50/50

This is a 10 week old Easter Egger. The brown on the shoulders is the same color on the chest. Single row of peas on the comb. There appears to be saddle feathers, but they are rounded and have been there since 6 weeks old. Has hen posture 95% of the time. Will duck down when challenged by other pullets. Has zero rooster attitude. Has not crowed, when other chicks from this group have already. Neck feathers are also rounded.


Any thoughts? I tried to include as MANY photos as I could.

The feather pattern is very interesting. Honestly I’m not very good at sexing birds…. But I’ll throw in a guess and say pullet. Sorry I know I’m not much help. Hopefully you get some answer.

For curiosity and learning purposes, what about her makes you confident she's a pullet?

She's of the Duckwing color pattern. That coloration is Sexually Dimorphic. Males are black Breasted, & females are Red/Salmon Breasted.
