Hey guys!

This guy (gal?) is elevenish weeks old now and I’m really still about 50/50.
His saddle feathers are far longer and thinner than any of my other pullets, but they look really rounded to me, compared to my other cockerel of about the same age.
I’ve heard that Easter Eggers can be tricky to sex so I’m really unsure.

What do you think?

As a side note here the saddle feathers don't really start getting obviously male until 12-14 weeks usually. I do agree that this looks like a pullet but that those saddle feathers are unusually elongated
This is common in EE.... very "drapey" saddle and hackle feathering in females, but the shape remains rounded.
