Hello everyone! Hope your day is going good.
This is my first time raising chickens. And I need some help in identifying one of my Easter Eggers. Would anyone be able to take a look at my majestically bearded chicken and tell me what gender they think he/she is?
I live in the city so I can't have roosters. I bought all my chickens as day old chicks. And they were all vent sexed prior to shipping but I know sometimes the boys make it in with the girls by accident.
The photos attached is of Meatball, who is 8 weeks old. However, Meatball has been testing their lungs for the past couple of weeks with some baby crowing. I'm worried my neighbors might complain to the city since Meatball likes singing.
I have noticed redder comb, more dominant behavior (very nice to me though, likes to demand being picked up and pet), and just recently growing some longer curving tailfeathers.
I'm hoping this is just Meatball being very manly. But I wanted to ask the pros as soon as possible to make sure. That way I can try to rehome Meatball outside the city where singing is allowed.
Thanks in advance for any wisdom!

. I will see if I can get him rehomed. If anyone lives outside of the city limits of Colorado Springs and would like to have this handsome young man, please dm me.
