anyone?

This may have already been established by now but I would say roo. That's a really red/largish comb for a pullet that young.

This is a follow up/conclusion to an earlier post on my chick Fuzzy Feather which I now know for sure is a cockerel. He is 12 weeks old. His comb changed from pink to deep red and doubled in size within a week. This happened right after the top rooster/cockerel was given away and Fuzzy Feather took over the top spot. His crow is strong enough that I need to find him a home before the neighbors complain. Below is my original post and pictures, and his current picture at 12 weeks.

Here he is at 12 weeks

Hmmm. The 12 week old picture didn't load. I'll


try again.

That's a beautiful rooster, my roo JR is colored somewhat like him.

Thank you. I wish roosters were allowed where I live so I could keep him.

You could put in your sale ad that he he has a possibility of producing blue chicks , that way there may be more of a chance he goes to be a breeder than a "feeder". I got a pure blue pullet of a roo with only blue sickle saddle and hackle feathers.

That's a good point. I'll try that.

Hi All! I was hoping to get some opinions on my light colored Easter Egger pictured here at 10 weeks. I have read through almost this entire thread hoping to be able to tell if this Easter Egger is a pullet or roo. I am still not sure. I would love to know what you think. It is the light colored one in the photos below:












Thanks!
