Easter Egger

cockerel or pullet? Roughly 8-10 weeks old. We got them from someone on Craigslist and honestly can’t remember now how old they were when we got them..

Judging by the big legs and red spots on the wings I’m thinking you have a rooster. Could you get some closer comb pics?? Beautiful EE btw

Thank you! I will definitely get a better picture of the comb in the morning. I had heard red in the wings is typically a cockerel but I’m unfamiliar with where/ how much etc

Could be a pullet. I have an Easter Egger hen with very similar coloring.

That would be amazing! She’s beautiful. I have enough roos as it is and I’d def have to get rid of one to keep another!

Still thinking pullet? Thanks!

I'm completely on the fence. the face says pullet to me. The red wing shoulder bars say cockerel. I'm going to have to wait until its 12+ weeks to know.

Hmm ok thank you! I’m anxious to know! I’ll know very shortly for sure!

You’re right, the face definitely says pullet. I have an EE pair about the same age as yours, and the rooster’s comb is way more developed by now and my girl looks exactly like yours in the face. My final answer is going to have to be pullet.

My hen


My roo


I have to say though, those red spots and the size are still confusing me. But surely a rooster’s comb would be more developed by now.
