My Easter egger is about 8.5-9.5 weeks old. Any insight on whether she is male or female? Thanks

The salmon color on the breast is usually a hen color (roos are black breasted for those varieties). However mixes (which is what most EE's are) tend to toss many of the "rules" out the window. The red showing on the shoulders is usually a roo only trait, except when it's scattered all over the body. The comb is on the large size for a pullet, but if she's going to have a large comb as adult, is normal. Sometimes you get one that mystifies you for a longer time. Keep watching.
