Hi helpful chicken people! I know it's a little early on this, but I've been worrying that this is a rooster since it was 2 days old. It's def the most aggressive of the flock, regularly chest bumps our rooster (who usually backs down to her) and the other little girls. Now her comb is starting to redden up compared to everyone else, but she's my only easter egger so I don't have any similar combs to compare her to. She's 4 weeks old today.

Thanks for your opinions!

It really is too early to tell but if the comb is as pink in real life as it appears in these photos, I'm going to guess that is a cockerel.
 
Yes, 3 rows. She also is the biggest by far, and raises neck feathers during chest bumps.
 
Well he's crowing now (has been all week), so I guess it's official.

Here's a pic now at 6 weeks
