Male or female Easter Egger

Mine are 7 weeks old and much smaller than that one, but have big red combs and are crowing. Will gladly trade you and let you know later! ;-)

Sometimes the patterning gives them away long before the comb or the crow. You have a late-blooming cockerel. The darker red on the wing and the arrangement of color, in general (patchy look) is masculine.

I will try and get more pics of her/ him.....only 9 weeks old...would they crow that early....no crowing here yet..

 

[chickencheeks]

Lol

Well does it crow?

My EE cockerel was crowing like a pro at 14 weeks. Not sure when he started first attempts because he didn't try it if I was around. He was much earlier to show his gender, though -- his comb started growing at four weeks.

My mom's mutt rooster, OTOH, was close to six months before he crowed. He was much slower to develop.

My vote is cockerel also. The red wings is the give-away.

Two of my five EE "pullets" are cockerels. It happens.

Really? A Roo? It hardly has a comb...the lady that breeds said it was a female, but my boyfriend holding it isn't sure she's right! It's not showing any other signs either way...not being dominate or anything either....hmmm...but it's a lot bigger than our other girls!

He is an EE they hardly get a comb at all. They have pea combs wich are very small. I thunk u have a EE rooster. Trust me EEs become the prettiest boys ever!
See this EE rooster:

This is a EE hen:
Note the 2 pics are 2 different EEs:

Good Luck

that is 100% cockerel should start crowing and showing other cockerel signs around 13+ weeks of age

Thanks! I'm pretty excited to have him! Thought we had 8 females, BUT we have 3 speckled Sussex females...and I think one of the 3 is a boy too....so looking like we have 2 roosters and 6 hens!!!
