Pullet.

Thanks. Only thing that had me thinking cockerel was the body differences and the behavior. Most of them are fat and round while brave is kinda tall and skinny.

So my partridge looking little lady is an EE? I was wondering if she was a mutant or had some health issues but she is healthy and resourceful. But the rest of the hens, especially the Ameraucanas, do not like her and are always running her off! She does get downtime with the Polish roo as he seems to like her quite a bit!

Looks just like one of my ee’s. Which were labeled as ameraucanas at southern states.

Can anyone tell me if this one is a rooster? I'm thinking he is but I want to other opinions.

Yes, that's a cockerel.

Is it that color of his feathers that are the give away? I'm so new to chickens...

Partly, yes, the red coming in on the wings, but also his comb. Male pea combs get puffy and have 3 bumpy ridges running down the length. A pullet that age has either no ridge or just a thin single ridge going down the center.

Oh, ok... Thank you!

Finally got some better pictures of the chicken I was questioning. I swear it was trying to crow this morning. Maybe I’m just hoping for a rooster.....
