It's an Easter egger and probably a cockerel because of the red comb at so early an age. But the color pattern is even, not splotchy, and this could indicate a pullet. So wait a few more weeks and try again after it has grown and feathered out completely.7 week old ameraucana (supposed to be a girl ) this ones comb is redder than all my other juveniles right now (other breeds) View attachment 1350407 View attachment 1350408 View attachment 1350409 View attachment 1350410
The colors are very similar!! I’m hoping she’s a girl but she’s been chest bumping the other girls her age and kind of being a real brat to the others (super sweet to me of course ) so I don’t know if that’s a dominance thing between pullets or a a cockerel thing?!Omg she does look like my chicken! Yours looks more like a girl than mine though

I think its a cockerel because of the color of the comb and I think I see red across the wing shoulders. Your hand is in the way. Can you get pics of it standing up normally? This will confirm...
Also, chest bumping isn't a cockerel trait. Males and females will both do that.
