11 week old Easter Egger-- guy or gal? [Updated w/ new photo]

We've only had chickens since April, so what I know is basically nothing. Having you guys, and everyone at BYC, that really know what they're talking about-- being able to ask about my chicks is great.
So, I looked at some of the pictures people have posted of their Silver Laced Cochins, and boy-- they all look alarmingly like Sarah. Especially the the roos.
Sarah can be a boy's name too, right?

Yes, Sarah can be a boys name - he will not care - as long as your voice has the same amount of love in it.



I have a Marilyn........I really hoped for a Monroe but ended up with a Manson. Marilyn does not care, he even comes to his name. I might be a bit prejudice, but I think My Marilyn is the most handsome Marilyn Rooster there is.

Here's a recent photo of "Sarah."
We got rid of the pecker and his feathers are coming in. He's actually got a back!
We're hoping for a tail soon.
He's 18 weeks old and hasn't started to crow. Yet.
And, I've been calling him Dyn-o-mite since he looks a lot like Jimmy Walker, from 'Good Times.'

Though it'd be super fun to mix him with an Easter Egger!

Cochins are not that tall and skinny. I bet it's a mixed Cochin/EE.

I think SpeckledHen hit right on the money. I don't think he's a mix, I think he's a sub-par hatchery Cochin.
I think I remember seeing a sign for Silver Laced Cochins over the brooder tank next to the 'Assorted Ameraucanas.' I bet he got put back in the wrong tank by a kid. Embarrassingly enough, it was the weekend of Easter-- lots o' children holding the chickies.
