Roo?
 
^ I have one that kind of looks like that, I hope mine's a she... :(

I'm curious as to how there are certain signs of coloring that make them for sure roosters when everything I've been reading is that anything goes for EE's because of their mixed backgrounds. Are there ever any exceptions to the rules??
 
girls don't get red on their chest, I definitely see splotchy red on #4's chest.
@Maggiee - once you know for sure the sex of #4, please post back. Others say it's a boy, but I say it's a girl. Only you know the answer and can settle this friendly guessing game.

Quote: This is a great comparison. Your pullet looks like the female version of the cockerel above. The big differences I see are that she has a small pale comb and the color on her wings is spread very evenly. There are no large patches interrupting the lighter partridge/lacing pattern. It's hard to see from the photo, but I'd be surprised if the reddish-brown on the wings is as red as it appears on a cockerel.

Both birds are pretty. Wish I had one colored like that.
