Easter Egger gender?

[EHebes]

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?

Yep, what everyone else said, BUT are you going to be able to keep him? @EHebes

Also thinking cockerel and probably so since someone is crowing, but depending on what his fate will be, you might want to confirm when gender-specific saddle feathers come in at around 3 months.

Or if you can't have a cockerel and don't plan on eating him, go ahead and start looking for a new home. He is without a doubt a cockerel. Male specific coloration and comb.

I agree, it’s best to start finding him a home, not many people take cockerels.
