EE hen, I hope, updated pics

[Coco Rico]

Thanks, everyone. I wish we had another to compare her to. She is bigger than our Buff Orp girl at the same age and much more aggressive, but we don't know which variations are the difference in breed, gender or just differences consequence of the pecking order. She is very cute, and we don't want to have to find another home for her. I will wait a few weeks and post more pics of her - thanks so much for all your input!

That comb looks pretty red for that age for a hen....

However, can't really say for sure still....

I had a white EE in my batch of chicks this summer, and I was a little worried that it was gonna turn out to be a roo because its comb seemed to be redder than the others....but it was a hen afterall. I think them being all white makes the comb look even brighter. lol

 

[can you hear me now?]

In my experience my EE rooster was extremely slow to feather, while the girls were all feathered out quicklike. Also I wanted to add that my EE hens could hold their own when introduced to my other girls. They were also aggressive. I say looks like a hen to me but not 100% because of the redness of the comb. Good luck and hope it is a hen.

With a comb that big and red at only 5 1/2 weeks, I'd have to say roo - here's a few of my pullets for comparison.

This semi-white EE is 7 weeks here, pale colored comb.

This one is a pullet from a previous batch - she is 7 weeks old here:

This pullet is 10 weeks old - all my 10 week old EEs now have pink combs- some are wider than others, but all the combs are still flat.

I am going to guess on roo for now. The body shape and comb..although EE comb seem to be very deceiving.
Here is my Monroe at 5 weeks (you can't see her comb but it was the same color as the top of her beak, light pink)
