Hen or roo?

Not sure. Need to see feather pattern in a full side view. Also, how old is it?

YES!

How old? Full body shot?

Comb looks somewhat pink but it is always hard to tell on computer screens. I don't see the "usual" telltale 3 row pea comb.

My Patsy or (Pats-HE?) sprouted red feathers all of a sudden. I was holding on to hope despite his reddening comb at 8 weeks... But he/she is looking more and more manly.

The golden color spread across the wings is not as concerning as that one little dark red spot showing in the first pic. You could just call him Pat.

Nice looking bird.

I bought 3 EE pullets and think I may have a little cockerel. They are 5.5 weeks old. He/she started showing a little pink at 4 weeks and it looks like the comb is no longer flat like the other two. It may be too early to tell though. This chick is the most skiddish of all so I don't bother scaring him/her trying to pick it up.

From what I can see, I think you might right. Next week or two, you will know. Company for your 2 barred cockerels!

I was given this EE and am I wrong to think it is going to be a rooster?
