Boy or girl? Normaly holds its tail down others its age were crowing but non from this one. Im just stumped. Hackels and comb lead me to boy. But deminor and lack of wattles has me hen.... help anyone?

Thanks

Most EE's don't have much to the point of wattles. I think it is a boy. (and by 'think', I'm pretty sure)

Roos or pullets? They are 6 weeks old.

How old are they now? 17weeks? I am curious because I have 4 ...15 weeks old girls I am waiting on eggs. I know they lay at their own pace but just curious. My one girl Squeaky has been extra loud in the morning Bawking and talking away. Hopefully she is almost ready. She has mutured faster than he other 3.

Wheatly is about 18-19 weeks old. She's a bit early. The other 2 EE's aren't showing many signs of being ready yet and they're the same age. Wheatly started squatting about a week and a half ago, along with some egg-song singing. It's hard to explain but she got more "affectionate" in the last week too. Good luck!

Here is Wheatly's egg, if anyone is interested (Wheatly's is the greenish/blue one, the brown pullet egg is my RIR Holly, who also laid her 1st today). A pretty impressive egg for her 1st, I think.

Roughly 16 weeks old..
Thanks

100% Rooster there!!!
Saddles & hackles only the boys get.
He will crow when he gets ready, if you have other boys he is probably low on the pecking list.

She has both cheek puffs and blue legs. She looks like the others, mostly, except for the goofy feathers. It's hard to tell what the comb looks like, because it's small. If you click on the pictures, they get much larger.

try posting again in a couple weeks, its amazing how fast they develop, it will be fun to see what she looks like then...and EE frizzle mix? How cool would that be!

What does squatting look like? What does the egg song sound like? My one 15week old girl has started to bend down in a squat position if I try to pick her up. She hasn't done that before. Also, she has just started to get extremely loud in the morning for a short period of time but it's so much bawking.

Could be a double yoker....

He's a boy. The other roo may be preventing him from crowing
