Easter egger Roo??

[pbrenneraz]

Yet another in the long line of 'is this a rooster or pullet?' posts I searched through old ones hoping to make my own best guess, but couldn't really. I bought this chick as a likely/potential roo - the person I bought from said that every one they got with this coloring was a rooster. He/She was supposed to be 8 weeks old when I bought him/her - the first pic (on the roost) is the day I brought him/her home (Feb 7). The other pictures are yesterday - so he/she should be about 4 months old, give or take. I'm ok with either sex, I like having a rooster around for my other 8 girls, but I'd be delighted to have another blue/green layer Thanks in advance for any educated guesses you can give me!

Pullet.

I am guessing a girl

Beautiful pullet. Her feathers have a uniform pattern. Easter Egger boys are usually patchy and may have orange/rust spots, esp. on the shoulders.

Edited to add photo of 3-mo EE cockerel as example (and edited again to correct his age in this photo!)

Thanks, I'll let him know you said so Not to hijack, but here he is at 6-7 months. The red splotches turned cool.

I do love roos, they are magnificent! I'm glad I live out in the country I'll be on the lookout for another EE roo, I'm sure someone around me will eventually have one they want to rehome.

I thought I'd update and let y'all know you were right - she is definitely a girl. This was the sweetest little egg, complete with tiny yolk , lol.
