If he was your free chick, the chances are it is a rooster. And, yes, a redder COMB at this age could indicate a rooster as well.He has a darker red cone if than means anything
I'm still learning about chickens, but I will tell you what I know, and hopefully somebody will correct me if I'm wrong. EE's aren't actually recognized as a "breed". They are just chickens that carry a blue egg gene. There are no standards as far as coloring. They come in all different colors, and you can't really tell what a chick will grow up to look like. Usually they have muffs or beards, the fluffy cheeks. I think they usually have greenish legs as adults. My young EE chicks have greyish looking legs right now. They should lay green or blue eggs, or sometimes brown or pink. That's about all I know about them.I was looking at all of your comments and seen that most of you thought he/she was an EE and I looked up and at the breed and most that I saw had black looking feet. This little guy has that so I am thinking he might be an EE is there any specific features he will have as an EE to tell if he is one??
