Easter Egger hen or rooster?

It looks like a pea comb to me

I agree that updated photos in a few weeks could help check the gender, and they may clarify the comb type as well.

I see a rose comb as of now. Might be double spiked but I would expect more bumps for a pea comb.

Can you update pictures in a couple weeks? I am suspicious it's a cockerel but I'm on the fence. It has a rose comb which is interesting-almost looks part Wyandotte.

I first thought Wyandotte mix when I saw the comb as well. I agree it looks rose. Those weird bumpies above the comb aren't all too uncommon in rose combs.

I've seen some pea combs that were just a raised ridge, without the 3 rows of bumps. To me, it looks like one of them. I suppose we'll find out eventually as it grows.

(I got a bunch of pea comb breeds once: Sumatra, Cubalaya, standard Cornish, bantam Cornish, Buckeye, and various Easter Eggers. I was surprised by how often the pea comb did NOT have the "usual" three rows of bumps.)

8 week update!

I am thinking the EE is a hen, correct me if I'm wrong?



Also, can someone tell me if I have any other hens? In addition to the EE I'm pretty confident the two white ones on the ends are hens, are all my other ones roosters? They should all be the same age.

Thank you everyone!

Thank you everyone!

Your guesses are correct. Three pullets.

I believe your Easter Egger is a cockerel still. Can you get a picture of his back? The white ones are the only pullets I see. Your Easter Egger still definitely has a rose comb as well!

Oh it does! I didn't even see that.

Now that I'm looking closer, I see what looks to be red over the wing bows.

Is this picture good enough?
