Easter Egger boy or girl? 8 weeks old

[Painted Calls]

Yeah, but typically in a EE cockerel, by 8 weeks they are much more up there if you know what I mean. Not typical, but we will see!

This one is definitely one of those unique cases.

Thanks everyone... we'll wait and see!

I've had lots of EE cockerels, their combs never enlarged until at around 13 weeks.

Well, I don’t want to argue, I know that you know your stuff, but all I know is that in a typical EE cockerel, the comb is more red. It’s an awful picture, but here is our rooster at 8 weeks. The chicken in this thread might be a cockerel, or a pullet. But, in my own experience, the chickens comb looks more like a comb of a 4 week old cockerel, not an 8 week old one. That’s why it confuses my a bit. Again, we will really have to wait and see for this one. The second picture is my cockerel at 4 weeks.

I was talking about the redness. I wasn't trying to argue.

Well, can we both agree this one is going to be interesting to find out about in a few weeks?

Yes.

This is my 8 week old EE. My son wants this one to be his pet but I'm worried it's a roo ...any thoughts?

update?? I am really curious about this one.

 

[Feath3rDust3r]

I'm really thinking boy. The comb is much bigger than his sister's...I'll update with some pics at some point

I'm gonna sit on the pullet side of the fence, based upon these pics.... Until we get an update.
