Rooster! Looks just like mine!

Yes. The larger bright red comb and the big patches of white on the wings are cockerel characteristics.

Here are better pics, I know it is still too early, but now that I've looked at it up-close, it looks more like a single comb instead of a pea comb. Or is it still a pea comb? Hatchery EE's can have single combs right?

Still early to tell for sure. Here's a picture of a 5 week old comb on a bird that I believe is a rooster: . Once again, too early to tell, but "she's" much larger than her siblings and her feathers are coming in a lot slower than her sisters'. But again, still too early to know for sure.

I have a friend who needs some help ID-ing her EE. It is now 8-9 weeks old I believe? It's had a red comb since it was pretty young.

it's a boy

Is your rooster grown yet? Mine looks the same at 8 1/2 weeks and I'm curious what he will look like fully developed. He is starting to get some brown on his wings, but is mostly black and white.

 

[Chook Chick]

I'm a chicken newbie and hatched 3 EE eggs. Two of the 3 are smaller, barely have combs and are the brownish-orange color with black tipped wings. They are all just over 1 month old.
This is "Chicky Lee", whom I believe is a cockerel....the legs are huge compared to the others, plus Chicky is bigger in body size but still fuzzy. The comb is developing more than the others and is turning red.

Well, for whatever reason my pics won't post here, but they are posted on my profile page.

I need to find Chicky a home as I'm not zoned for roosters

my turn...two OE'ers...7 weeks old. There are two...one larger, one smaller. I'm thinking the bigger one is a pullet and the smaller a roo...

Any ideas?

Smaller one...roo?

Larger one...pullet?

Here are other pix...the one on the left is the smaller (?roo) and the right is the bigger (?pullet)

Mine looked like that too. Heres a picture of him when he was a bit older (right before I sold him):

These both look like pullets to me.
