Easter Egger. Roo/Pullet?

[mother o' chicks72]

This is Amapolla my Easter Egger. Roo or pullet? she's 5.5-6 weeks old.

Cockerel, so sorry.

What are the roo characteristics on it? just curious, I can't seem to get the hang of telling one way or another with easter eggers.

 

[mother o' chicks72]

no idea, she has no wattles or red in her comb at this age so i'm really hoping she's a pullet!

 

[Bravo]

I'm gonna have to go with Illia on this one. Maybe you can get a better pic of the comb-the lighting in the one you posted isn't very good. The comb is pretty large and defined for it to be a pullet.

If youre having reservations, hang onto it for a while longer just to be sure.

I'll be crossing my fingers for you!

It is a cockerel; easter eggers rarely have wattles. The comb is already pink and the color is indicative of a silver based bird and when a silver based bird is this color it is a male.

That is going to be one handsome Roo when he grows up.

@pixiedouglas --check out his ham hocks, er, legs. Big and thick even at this young age. Definate comb development at early age.

what I've read is EE's can be hard to sex but this one screams Roo

Roo! Is this the one I commented on in another thread?

 

[stormylady]

I'm thinking little man there, so sorry and hope Im wrong

 

[mother o' chicks72]
