Is our sweet Easter Egger a Rooster?

[DDNONIN2016]

Yes, it is a cockerel.

That is going to be one pretty rooster when he grows up. Love that high tail carriage. But....I just love rooster period

Pips and Peeps, how can you tell? What are the distiguishing factors just out of curiosity?

Welcome to BYC and he looks like a roo to me but I guess I could be wrong it's just the red shoulders

 

[pips&peeps]

The bright pink comb. And, most of the time, the color pattern you see on your bird is male.

We are off to the feed store tonight to pick up a couple more EEs to replace the one we had to rehome last summer. Do you have any advice on picking out the females from the males? They are already sexed and I know what my chances are but maybe you have some wisdom

Just an update! this is Bunny all grown up in his new home... He is very handsome and happy and all that said he was a roo you are correct. Thanks again!

Welcome and enjoy!

Well, I don't want to burst your bubble, but that EE has the classic "Roo" coloration for an EE. The red shoulders, particularly.

As a side note, my dominant rooster is an EE and he's wonderful. Very diligent, respectful to the hens, and I think he's gorgeous.

He is indeed gorgeous! I have wondered what an EE rooster looked like. Yours is terrific!
