Do I have a roo? 6 weeks old EE. Thanks!

With that much comb, already, it's a boy.

I agree. It is still to early to be 100% sure though.

Can I get some guesses on this EE chick? I think I can see some yellow coming in around the neck and possibly the shoulders although it's faint. I got this and another EE 2/10 and think they were no more than a week old. Tail feathers were little nubs. S/he has green legs and seems to challenge my RIR who is clearly the top of the pecking order. Kind of rambunctious compared to the rest.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I think you have a pullet there.

Cockerel for sure.

That's kind of a bummer. I can have a rooster and would like one in a way.
I think I'm going to keep my fingers crossed s/he is a roo.

These are my two, what I'm praying are, sisters. Brownie has the thinner black line head. Emily has the larger spot. They are 3-4 weeks. No red comb that I can see so far. Brownie usually stands up higher, but they seem very similar.

I know this post is old but... If you could see how silos tail on the end slightly curves down at the top indicating he's a rooster

Juvenile tails often curve down. Male or female.

I'm also worried about the iridescent tail feathers.

So example in this pic... The roosters tail slightly curves down at the top at this age the hens tail would be up and pointy plus straight.

Applying that logic, this should have been a male...
