5 week old easter egger sexing best guess?

[prestoconfuoco]

Hi all. Here are photos of our 5 week old easter egger - don't have any more specifics than that re: breed, other than that this one was hatched from a green egg from mypetchicken. She(?) is kind of squirrely, and will sometimes sit on your leg/etc. but usually runs away when you go to pick her(?) up. I know it's too early to know definitively, but I don't have experience with this breed (and don't recognize the comb type; we have two brahmas, so this doesn't look like their rose combs?) so I wanted to know if anyone sees signs that this is either a hen or a rooster.

Thanks for your help!

I'd say male.

Cockerel EE

Definitely a cockerel!

I agree with the majority. Most definitely a cockerel.

Wow, I've never seen that much comb dev on a 5-week pea-combed EE before (I thiiiink it's a pea; at least that's what it most resembles). 100% boy. And a very pretty boy! Can you keep a cockerel?

intresting comb! never seen anything quite like that on a EE before! most likely male tho! i love how the EEs vary tho! hope you can keep him! my EE roos are fairly quite tho... if thats a factor...

Hey everyone, thanks so much for your help! Unfortunately, we can't keep roosters, but fortunately, we have found a good home for him and some others that we have...it seems that out of the five chicks we kept, four ended up being roosters! Oh well...I hate parting with them but I'm glad to know they are going to somewhere where they'll be around a lot more chickens (this family friend has around 30 or so, and will be integrating these guys with some of her own that are also around 5-7 weeks!). Thanks for the help!

My chicks are 4.5 weeks. Even though bought as pullets my EE gives me roo vibes. Any insights

The back looks male by that comb. I can't see the others comb.
