Easter Egger cockerel?

[Tookie]

Hi! This is my 1 month old Easter Egger chick that I think could be a cockerel. It’s comb seems large and looks like it’s turning red somewhat, I also saw it fight/play with my other chick that I know is a cockerel. Is it a cockerel? Hope it’s not!

Both pullets and cockerels will play/mock fight. Early comb development increases the chance that you may have a cockerel.

I would say pullet, but does he/she have wattles yet?

Agreed. That's a lot of comb development for such a youngster.

I'm thinking cockerel-that's a red comb for such a youngster. However, I've had (what was supposedly an Olive Egger (who so happens to lay brown eggs) that had a big red (ish) comb, too.

Really, another cockerel?! I got 7 chicks that are all supposed to be pullets and I already have one that is a cockerel, so now I have two that are cockerels!? I just hope I don't have anymore cockerels!

I'd guess cockerel. Sorry.

Still thinking cockerel? He's 6 weeks old.
