EE Cockerel??

[BellePoule]

I have four 6 week old EE's that were supposed to be all pullets... But I'm thinking that one is a cockerel because of his coloring. I'm hoping he is, because I also have three 6 week old Welsummer's and I want speckled green eggs!

(Sorry this one is a little blurry, he wouldn't stay still)

(And here he is with two older pullets and two other EE pullets. And yes, the lighter colored one is rumpless!)

That is going to be a beautiful rooster!

 

[Mountain Peeps]

Yup, that looks like a cockerel.

Yay!!! You have a very handsome cockerel!!!

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

Yes, you have a cockerel there

Happened to me, too! Out of the 20 "female" chicks I purchased, 7 turned out to be roos!! Well 7 was too many, so I found homes for 6 and kept the sweetest rooster to watch over the ladies. In my experience, the EE roosters were "nicer" to both humans and chickens. I think yours is going to be a handsome fella

 

[BellePoule]

Yay! Now I just have to come up with a name for him...
