4.5 Week EE - pullet or cockerel? Suspected cockerel

[afieldssnowyegger]

Two of my girls have it... it just started storming... could it be related to that?

Also, it wasn’t there before it started raining

I wouldn’t be concerned about the red spot. One of my chickens got that when she was pecking at the grass through the fence

Thanks! I’ll monitor it still... but that’s a relief

I'm not great at detecting males or females but since EE's are not a purebred breed I think even if they are from the same group they may not have the same parents so the siblings could look different. All three of these ladies are from the same place at the same time so they would be sisters. EE's are fun.

I'm not sure how a pea comb on a rooster looks... so that's why I'm a bit unsure. "Her" comb is starting to get redder as well this week. Thanks for the help!

I'm just very nervous because my others have NO comb growth at all!!! We'll try to keep her if she ends up a rooster, but we aren't really supposed to have roosters. I've seen a few things that help with noise too, but I do hope she is a girl. But, if she is a he, at least we might get some baby chicks .
