Big Bertha or Bob EE?

S/he’s not aggressive and doesn’t have exceptionally large feet when compared with my BLRW male of the same age (eight weeks on the 15th), but look at those feathers... Boy or girl?

Feathering looks like a cockerel at 8 weeks......can you take a face photo of comb ?

Gender shaped feathers aren't coming in yet on the saddle.

It's only behavior, comb and waddle COLOR/size, and any red feather color coming in that would indicate male at this age.

I can't make out if the brown is looking like it has some tell tell red or not due to lighting.

I can't make out any waddles or color... I know the beard gene keeps them smaller though.

Brighter, clearer pics of comb/waddles and maybe feather color would help for a more accurate educated guess.

At this age sexing is all about the comb (and wattles if the breed has them) . Comb photo please!

No comb, no wattles... Not sure if that’s because she’s an Easter Egger or not.

Looks like a pullet to me... I feel like their would be more red pigment in the feathers where the little brown blotches are. And the face isn't red at all.

EE can be late boomers sometimes though.

I say pullet.

Looking like a Bertha to me. Small pale comb, and the color pattern is pretty even. Watch the comb-- if there is a sudden growth spurt and color development in that area in the next 6 weeks or so, then you'll know you could have a cockerel.

Looking more like a pullet!
