Totally a cockerel. Also if it crows that's a dead give away.

Do you mean the white wings and shoulders …?Male specific coloration
Wing bars can be in red, or dark coloring or white... but yes, this looks like white wing bars. The comb is a clear indicator of sex at this age.Do you mean the white wings and shoulders …?
I was commenting more if OP were to cull. That would stink to cull and find out the tiny chance it was a pullet after all. But then again, usually don’t cull before three months anyway …

Yes. That's actually a fairly common EE cockerel color/pattern.Do you mean the white wings and shoulders …?

I’m no help due to being in the same situation.We have 5, 8 week old EE that were all supposed to be pullets which I understand isn’t always the case-
Pij is the gray/white EE. She/he is a bit more aggressive than the rest, bigger than the rest, and I heard a distinct crow this morning. This is our first flock so we are still learning.
a friend told me when you have no roosters, occasionally hens will crow. I have no idea if this is true.
Any insight on if anyone thinks Pij is a hen or roo? Or what else I should be looking for?View attachment 2727214View attachment 2727213
