6 week old EE

[MischickenNY]

I just have to be sure because she/he is growing on me. Right now she’s separate from the flock because she was getting pecked pretty badly. Is she a pullet or cockerel?

 

[Chick-N-Fun]

Pullet!

 

[Buckeye Amy]

It looks like a pullet but the feathered shanks make me think she's not an EE. She appears to be rumpless also.

Pullet!

That’s exactly what I was thinking.. she’s grown on me

What are rumps?

 

[Buckeye Amy]

Rumpless means no tail, and she doesn't appear to have tail feathers. Did her tail feathers get picked out? Only a few breeds are rumpless, like true Araucanas. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

 

[Buckeye Amy]

Could she be a buff Cochin? I know nothing about that breed, so it's just a guess.

Unfortunately she is getting picked on and this is what are left of the tail feathers. Others said that light feather colors get picked on vs darker? Sorry she is actually a green egger. Came from a Cochin frizzle rooster to an Easter egger

I agree - she looks like a pullet.

Love that Cochin was thrown in there. She's super cute!

Oh! That's an interesting combination! Don't worry, feathers grow back!
