3 week old Easter egger Roo?

[CyborgBabyMama20]

We got a few Easter egger pullets from TS about 3 weeks ago, and normally I would say that’s way too early to sex a chick but what do you guys think? This one’s comb and waddles are very bright, and it’s comb is pretty wide though very flat.

I'm thinking you may be right.

I would second that. I suppose you could say this one is bursting with masculinity.

It has a rose comb, so I'm wondering if it's not an off color silver laced Wyandotte instead of an Easter egger.

That was my first thought on seeing it. It does look like a cockerel as well.

I was wondering that!

Oh man I’m definitely thinking roo. I have 2 EEs both a little over 4 weeks and their combs aren’t red at all yet and no waddles

Exactly what I was thinking, I believe you have a SLW and not EE, in my experience with these birds, ours did mature quicker, both Pullets in fact had nice big combs around 7 weeks or so, give it a few more weeks and you'll know better.
