What did it turn out to be?

I sweating it out with one of my EE's, Iris. I really wasn't sure about her until she was about 13-14 weeks. She also had a very pink pea comb, but never developed the larger three rows. I would guess pullet, but would love to see pictures in a few weeks. Beautiful bird, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Depends on age. If under 10 weeks, cockerel. If it's over 15 weeks (and not crowing!) possible pullet.

Quote: That's a very red comb for 8 weeks, so male. This is an oldish thread. If you want more opinions, go to

I thought a while back someone told me you could tell by the number of rows of beads on the comb. Does that sound familiar?I say cockerel. At 8 weeks, she shows lots of red in that comb. No way that's a pullet, IMO, sorry. I could certainly be wrong here, but after raising so many Ameraucanas and a few EEs, I've never had any pullets show that much red at 8 weeks of age.
Here is an EE pullet at 12 weeks old, a full month older that your bird--see how her comb is still barely even pink yet?
