12-Week-Old Easter Egger Pullet or Roo?

Hi. Any updates on the EE?? Need to settle the score with all the differing opinions!

Well, she’s 16 weeks now— no crow, still the same size as the other pullets. It’ll be a few more weeks before she’s due to start laying but I’m pretty sure at this point that she’s a Pullet! I’ll update after she lays her first egg (or not?! Lol)

Eggs or crowing?

Yall this bird will lay eggs. If she doesn't, I'll attempt crowing for an entire day. I 100% stand by my original guess

At my first glance, I would say 100% pullet, especially because of the bullying behavior. Cockerels don't bully the pullets, unless you count trying to mate them consistently as bullying.

Alright, everyone! The big FINAL reveal!

Here SHE is at 22 weeks, and here is her first batch of eggs! She had a very well-hidden nest, we didn’t know she was laying but we suspected because she kept disappearing for about an hour and then magically reappearing.

Needless to say, she’s a lady who likes to keep secrets. lol

I'm not surprised, since she looked totally like a pullet from the start. Congratulations, she is beautiful and so are her eggs!
