Hello and TIA! This is my favorite chick out of the three batches I got gifted in an emergency situation. This one is the friendliest of them and I will be devastated if she is rooster. I might keep her if she is but I already have a Cochin frizzle bantam roo and I’m not sure that will work. This batch of chicks I have already has 6 suspected Roos so I’m praying she is not. I also do not know what type of chicken she is. I am guessing she is an Easter egger due to her puffy cheeks. But then again not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Her legs are as thick as my SLW’s legs. Thanks for your help!

It's definitely a cockerel :( I agree that it appears to be an Easter Egger or Easter Egger mix :)
I’m so sad 😭 I have so many roosters and I don’t know what to do with any of them. My only solace was that he didn’t look like one for so long until this week. Ugh. Thank you for your help. I might keep this one because I love him so much and he jumps up into my hand every time I put it into my brooder. He is such a sweet boy. I think I might have have two hens and 8 roosters. FML.

I'm sorry. Perhaps try a few sex links. Those are pretty much guaranteed to be what you want.
 
Thank you. I’ve come to terms with it. He’s just going to be my handsome sweet roo and I’m going to keep him and see what happens. If he beats the heck out of my frizzle Cochin then we might make other plans but until then he has a forever home with us. The other six or seven, minus maybe the silkie (it doesn’t seem to have a thought in it’s little head) need to go lol.
Start posting them in your local Craigslist, cause it takes a long while to rehome cockerels.

Could just off one of them, but that would probably hard to do. So what do you plan to do since its a rooster? I actually have 6 roosters as well, chicks on the way as I speak and I might get a rooster.
