I think you are correct. The comb is very wide compared to what I see in my girls usually. As well those are some nice dark patches coming in. Don't see saddle feathers yet. But behavior should be another good indicator, though not always.I need help with sexing this EE, based on his/her comb and his/her coloring I am thinking Roo, but when I posted earlier photo of him/her when he/she was 6 weeks I was told she's a pullet. In all fairness the dark patches on his/her back have recently revealed themselves. He/she is now 9-10 weeks old. I know EE are the mutts of chicken world, but I found a farm upstate for my BO rooster that you can see hanging in the background and it would be easier to make one trip to drop off both.
Look how pinkish red his face and comb are
Look at the dark patches on his/her back
Also, what people breed in their back yards as EE may in fact be mutts. And I know it's hotly debated but IMHO, the EE being sold at feed stores ARE still Ameraucana that in fact don't meet the Standard of Perfection with regards to things like feather pattern, but do represent the breed in general. Either way, they are pretty great birds and I will always have a couple. It's fun to have a diverse flock.
