Thanks!

BTW, her head is blue and brown like the rest of her body. Blue tends to shade darker on the head but it's not an entirely different color.

Adding some pics of my ee to this! I’m worried she’s a little too now because of her tail....

How old? and can you get a good close up of the comb?
The feather pattern looks pullet-y so far.

Nothing masculine about her tail. After the baby feathers are in (the all-important wing bow isn't filled yet), take new pictures. Forget the tail, we want to see the feather pattern and comb.

Have 2 EE chicks that are approx 5-6 weeks old. Wondering if i should wait closer to 8 weeks to guess gender? Any guesses? Red & grey one and the cream & grey one. Thank you for any feedback!

I picked up some ee chicks a while back. They were supposed to be pullets but after scrolling through some of these posts I think the one we named brave, for the lack of fear of anything might be a he and not a she. I’ll post more pics when I get home, but the tail is what really got me thinking. The chicken in question is the one under the water bottle. Posted the other as a reference.
