Lord Featherington is a lord, right? EE at 12wks

[Whigru]

I’d like confirmation that Lord Featherington - the EE with brown/red/black feathering - is indeed a lord. He was supposed to be an EE pullet but I don’t think that’s the case. My birds are 12wks tomorrow.
I have not heard a crow yet, but these feathers and his size make me pretty confident he’s a cockerel. The comb appears to be a single or a pea comb, but has stayed small and yellow/faintly pink even as the rest of the girls are starting to pink up a bit. He is also very timid and tends to stay in the back or hide behind others.
I’m quite certain he’s a he but am hoping for confirmation from experts before I decide how to handle the situation (I’ve only got 5 pullets so I don’t think there’s enough room or girls for him to behave).

What makes you think this is a pullet? I really don't see it. Combs don't make a rooster.

It has no pointy hackles and zero saddle feathers which it would by now. Plus no comb development which it would also have. As well as a female specific and even color pattern as opposed to splotchy red all over.

Looks like a pullet to me too!

Lord Featherington is a Lady Featherington.

The first thing that popped out to me was that rooster stank eye. Lol the Roos just have that look about them.

Pullet.

By 12 weeks, it should have much more pointy saddle and hackle feathers. It's tail would probably be more curved and an EE roo with that coloring/pattern would have red wing patches. It's a pullet.

Thanks! I don't have as much experience with the EE so I appreciate the education and stand corrected!

This bird will lay eggs. There is nothing on her that is pointing towards cockerel

Pullet.

Agreed
