EE? Ameraucana? Roo?

I was told she was an Ameraucana pullet but I'm pretty sure she's not and I'm wondering about her gender too. Any guesses? She's 8-10 weeks I think.

can you get a straight on comb shot? i am leaning towards cockerel (white ee's are hard to to sex without a head on comb shot)

thats a roo way to much comb and reddness at 2 months old to be a hen

EE rooster...my ee hen still has a very light pink comb and she is 5 months old!

Not sure of the sex others are saying male so they are probably right. It looks like your chicken has a single comb. Based on the pic it's hard to tell if it's a pea comb. Ameraucana's and Easter Eggers usually have pea combs. Another giveaway she/he is not a pure Ameraucana is the lack of muff/beard and the green colored legs. Pure Ameraucana's have slate colored legs. Hope this helps.

There's also a little red tinting in the wing and chest feathers. Usually indicates a roo.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. I guess I'll keep him until he crows. He may be older than I think, I got him from a lady that takes unwanted chickens and rehomes them. I guess instead of Princess Buttercup he'll be Wesley.

Once, I had a cat named Prince Westley.

If age is unknown, it might be a pullet getting ready to lay, the buff color isnt dark enough for roo coloring, I haven't seen a roo with buff coloring come to think of it

Thanks for giving me hope. I'll keep him/her until s/he lays or crows I guess. I would keep him/her regardless but we can't have roos in suburbia.
