Easter Egger chick

hi, I don’t think he’s quite 8 weeks yet but what do you think is he a boy or a girl.

This is a tough one. I’m leaning towards cockerel based on the amount of comb at such a young age.

The drumsticks suggest cockerel. Breed is unknown to em-wah. Perhaps a X?

What?
The bird does look gamey to me.

What do you mean gamey?

I rescued this chicken from my work. He was mauled by a cat. I have always had a feeling he’s a boy.

Your chick has the build and stance of an American Gamefowl or Old English Game fowl.

I'm leaning towards cockerel for the same reasons as above, but EE's/mixes can fool you sometimes. Depending on what the mix actually is, comb size can vary and feathering can be different. There is some game fowl look, but some of my teenager EE's have looked that way a bit during the gangly phase. I would wait a bit longer to be sure.

He’s adorable!

This one's tough. The pattern on the feathers looks female.

I suggest giving it a few more weeks.
