Can some one tell me the gender of my white Easter Egger chick?

I would say it is a rooster because of the red comb and the thick legs.

Aww... It hatched on the 8th of Feb. Is there still hope? It doesn't have wattles yet and I have a barred Easter Egger growing a big comb and wattles

It's hard to tell at this age. I'm leaning towards roo because of the thick legs and the shape of the feathers, but it's hard to say at this age. The comb and wattles don't look especially developed--it may yet be a pullet.

Hopefully! I hate giving roosters away that I get attached to.

If it is a pullet (hopefully) will it lay olive eggs since it's moms a brown egg layer

I had heard that white EE typically end up being roos. We got a group of EE a few years ago, and the one solid white EE ended up being a little cockerel.

I have about a week old EE chick that started out pale yellow and now has white wing feathers. I am kind of hoping it turns out to be a roo so I have at least one in our free range situation.

I hope not cause I have one too but I want a hen....

here's one I'm pretty for sure is a boy.. He's 15 days old

My two white EE's turned out to be hens, so you never know.

As for the egg color, you won't know that until she (hope hope!) starts laying.
