East egger legbar mix 4 weeks old

[Frazzemrat1]

I honestly wonder if this is a standard easter egger mixed with legbar, with that rose comb....

Confused. Took in a friends chicks and I’m not sure if the chick is a boy since the pea comb has a reddish tint to it. Don’t be filled by the legbar girl look with eye liner and chipmunk stripe.View attachment 2770119View attachment 2770120View attachment 2770122View attachment 2770123View attachment 2770124View attachment 2770125

It's a cockerel. The enlargement, & redness of the comb is usually an early indicator of gender in Easter Eggers. If not, then red patches will be the way to sex them.

If the comb is small, pale, & no red patches seen, then it's probably a pullet. Occasionally you'll have late bloomers, who won't shows signs of being Male until a later age.

Okay. I’ve read that if u see 3 rows of dots it’s a male. And a female will only have 1 row??

It’s not a pea comb, so this doesn’t apply. You look to have a Wyandotte mix chick, not an EE/legbar one.

Was the mother barred?

Rose combs can pink up somewhat early... that's why I said to give this a little time.

No mother was a lavender color EE and dad was a cream legbar so he is barred.

Okay. Your saying mine is showing signs of a male? With the pink comb

I got it from my neighbor. Came from an EE egg and her only roo is cream legbar. She doesn’t have a Wyandotte. But could be a comb mess up. I think she will have the same comb the EE mom had.

My Easter Egger pullet has a comb kinda like that so I am going to say female

I still say wait a few weeks till its around 8 weeks before making any decisions. Rose combs can be tricky sometimes.
