Easter egger gender

[patch227]

I have two EEs in my flock, one I know is a hen, the other I am not sure. Attila (chicken in question) developed feathers as quickly as the others, and the feather pattern/color is consistent with the female. Attila is more skittish with people then the rest, and has more "pointy" feathers. The shape of the head and posture makes me think roo. I can not tell any significant difference in comb, or any spurs. Any input is appreciated!

As of how the pics were taken I'd say girl. But a close up pic of her comb would be helpful. Also, don't judge gender by spurs as females tend to get large spurs too!

Attila is in the bottom of the frame in the second pic, next to her sister

I still want to say girl but I'm not completely sure yet.

Agree on the color, no rooster is going to be that color. What looks to be pointy feathers isn't the actual feather shape, it's the color on the feather making an optical illusion of a point. You should get nice blue or green eggs in a few more months!
