Araucana/ EE pullet or cockerel **Updated with new pics**

At this point, it looks like Flag is getting a single comb. It's really small and hard to tell yet. That and Flag is very shy. The EE roo I lost had a pea comb and it was red by the time he was Flag's age. Flags comb is rather orange. No red yet.

I'm finding it harder to tell with a rumpless bird.

So does the Pea comb and it being red indicate a roo? In an easter egger

It can... Many EEs have pea combs, boys and girls. What I've heard and tried before, is that if the comb has three raised "rows" and is red then it might be a boy.

And I still have no clue. I'll just have to keep an eye on Flag and hope for the best.

Okay. I think boy because the coloring is so.. patchy. If Flag were mine, I'd be planning on having a boy.

I think Pullet!

You said Flag was rumpless? That indicates Araucana or Araucana cross not EE. Maybe a duckwing pullet.

Today I'm leaning towards pullet b/c of the round feathers coming in along Flag's rear. She/he wasn't putting up with pictures this morning, but I did what I could. I have 3 chickens I got about the same time as Flag, I'm pretty sure the BO (in the 3rd pic) and frizzled EE are both pullets and Flag is about the same size as them. The Marans cockerel who is the same age is almost twice as big and just started crowing.

I'm still hoping girl.

Here are some new Flag pictures. I really think Flag is a girl now, but she has been the hardest to sex. All the birds pictured are about 12 weeks old now.

My cockerel, Sliver, seems to think Flag is a girl too...

My vote is pullet
