EE Girl or a Boy?

[Nystra]

This is Miri my aracauna/EE hen. or at least I thought She was a she.. but now she is starting to look a awful lot like my Rooster of the same breed.... This is my first year with chickens and my first little flock I've raised all except my roo Vinnie from day old chicks... So Miri was hatched the end of May.. I'm hoping its just my inexperience of sexing and i don't now have 3 roosters

(I have a 2nd cochin flock with a blue splash rooster name)

This is Vinnie the Top Boy of the group hes a month older than Miri i Believe. They are currently housed together.. so If Miri is a boy.. I hope they can coexist Since they have been together now for... 2months about

Thanks for the Help

I want to say the hatch date was May 10th somewhere around there... I just Looked back on my calendar cause i wrote down the dates that I got my chicks on. and She was a week before my other group so around the 10th so that puts us at just about 4months old

i don't know for sure but i think it may be a roo

 

[Chrizjen]

Hate to agree but looks like a roo to me too!

crap... That means I have 2Roosters... so no green eggs or baby EE next spring.... more opinions please!!! I will need to contemplate keeping him/her or finding one of my roos a home... because i dont want anyone getting hurt in a fight

Positively a boy, sorry.

Yep, rooster. On the bright side, he was probably born on my birthday

Anyone in southern Maine want to trade me a EE hen for my new found little rooster hahaha I just don't want any future problems /sigh He is fine with being handled once you catch him hahaha doesnt attack any people and does fine with my little sister harassing the crap out of them hahaha been around goats and dog lol
