2 month old Easter Egger pullet or cockerel

[Patois]

I think it’s a male! Do I still have a chance for pullet?

Can EEs have red sex-link genetics?
I've read about red on EEs wings indicating males...
This is my EE 'pullet' at 8 weeks. He started crowing at 6.

No. They do usually have very clear male traits though. The red on the wings isn't specific to EE's. Just to males. It's more common in mixed breeds such as EEs though.

The very patchy "color block" patterns are a dead giveaway in EE cockerels. Typically black and white on an EE is a male. Yours is more evenly distributed, but there are still large patches of white (Typically over wings for males) and patches of solid black.

Pullet.

Still pullet.

Pullet, obviously

It has splotchy coloring, which can be an indication of it being a cockerel. But it has a small, pale comb. I think it's a pullet but I would keep an eye on it. Maybe update with new photos in a couple of weeks if things aren't clear by then.

That comb is throwing me off too. I saw the red patches over the wings and said cockerel. That comb is darn near nonexistent though.

Scoot over - I'm sitting on the fence with you!

Yeah, I really couldn't call this one yet. Could go either way. Hope it's a pullet though.

Hatched somewhere around 6/6, not entirely since I picked up at a feed store around a week old or so. So 2.5 almost 3 months old

So he's right at the average age for starting to grow saddles. Take a peek under the feathers on his saddle area and see if you can find any emerging bright, shiny saddles. My bet is that they'll be red. Not sure though. This bird has all kinds of cool colors going on.

If @JedJackson and @Overo Mare are on the fence then I am too

I think she or he is getting even prettier! Which worries me. But I don’t see any pointy feathers. What do y’all think?

I don't know gender but that is one gorgeous chicken!!
