13 week EE. Pullet or roo

[Amanda0419]

This 13 week EE is my Aunt‘s chicken. She sent me this picture today and I was shocked to see how much comb and wattles she has. We both bought EEs at the same time and this one is the only one with a big comb. Any thoughts on gender?

Not an EE (At least not obviously, unless it's a whiting) is she sure it's 13 weeks? It looks like a sexlink Pullet but if it isn't, it's definitely a cockerel.

Yes we bought the chicks on April 30. The bin was labeled EE but we got them from TS so it possible it’s not an EE.

This is another picture…maybe it will help figuring out breed.

Not always. Their looks can vary greatly. The only requirement for an Easter Egger is that it lays colored eggs. Granted, hatchery EEs usually have a specific look to them from them breeding their lines so long but even then they vary quite a bit and they definitely don’t all look like that nor do they have to.

Tractor Supply is notorious for mixing chicks up. I think it looks like a pullet but more time will tell for sure.

I actually didn't know that.

Not a lot of people do so it’s understandable but yeah.

Is it possible for EE to have single combs. I bought 7 EE and 2 were labeled Amereraucana. Those 2 are the only ones with a pea comb and muffs and beard.

Yes. Hoover has new EEs this year.
