14 week old Easter egger. Posted here before but still unsure.

This is Fluffy. 14 weeks old. Top of pecking order. Lets the other two drink/eat first always. Larger. Tail is beginning to concern me. Transitioning from being very gentle to a little more “sassy” and difficult to deal with. Still a little gentle though? Very nervous when separated from other two, always looking for them. Very red comb, although lighting in pictures don’t really show it too well. Very protective over the other two, as seen in the pics where she is standing over them watching while they look around for bugs and treats in the yard. So, the question: Pullet or Cockerel? Could this just be a Pullet who has assumed the role of flock protector? I’m just very unsure.

Aw thank you. They’re the Snowy Easter Eggers from My Pet Chicken. $25 each. So I definitely got ripped off, but they are very beautiful and friendly little birds

Very pretty birds. Judging from the tails, and those of my EEs, I'd say you have 3 girls. Keep us posted. I have a Fluffy too. She's a Silkie.

I think the $25 was worth it. They are gorgeous. Enjoy them!

The thing that was throwing me off was her attempts to crow this past week

Wait and see then. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes pullets crow... one of.my very first 7 chickens, I had a pullet that crowed a few times then never did it again. She went on to act like a normal hen and laid eggs. I named her Dinner.
