Easter Egger Sexing

[HippieHen44]

Hi everyone, trying to figure out what this little one is. Purchased as a sexed pullet but development on feather was far slower than the others. Colors have me suspicious too. Anyone have any knowledge on this breed please advise. She () is 5 1/2 weeks and has some iridescent in tail although unable to see in the picture attached. Not much for comb and wattles but this breed is tricky it seems for that.

Thanks for any help!!

I just got some Easter eggers too! I have the same scenario as to sexing them. So if anyone knows that would help!

The iridescent doesn't matter. Even girls have iridescent tails/feathers. Looks like a pullet. As long as there is no pink/red wattle and comb growth, she is a pullet

I second what @25chickens said. I had a group of EE's that gave me fits trying to figure them out when they were younger, but when their combs came in, they really started to come in. By the time mine had as many feathers as your bird has, their combs were probably 3-4X the size of what yours has. Again, EE's aren't a group that likes to follow the rules, but you'd definitely be seeing some serious comb coming in by now if it were a roo.

Definitely looks like a pullet to me!

Update: Well definitely a rooster, if looks are not enough, he crowed first time this morning.
