EE pullet or rooster

[subhanalah]

Well, actually I think it looks more like a cuckoo pattern, but it works the same way. Cuckoo hen with a solid colored cock.makes sex linked babies.

Looks like a pretty EE pullet to me.

So the general consensus is that there is no consensus?

They are still really too young to tell. Maybe give it a week or two, should be clearer by then.

Could be a pullet, for sure since you don't know the lineage.

I'm outranked by subhanalah. I bow to her opinion. But why not give it a couple of weeks, it will be easier to tell then.

Your bird is most likely a pullet. That color pattern is girly all the way.

The bird is a little young to sex, so if you see any solid red feathers peeking out on the shoulders, that will mean it's a male. But right now, all signs point to that being a pullet.

There do seem to be some solid feathers around the neck area, but we're going to wait until egg or crowing on this one. We have a buff orpington who we are 95% certain is a rooster and will probably call the rooster guy earlier on. We bought sexed chicks, so if 2/4 turn out to be roosters, I'll be a bit annoyed! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Feather is a pullet.

Hi!! What does your EE look like now? Male or female? I am wondering the same thing for mine.

 

[Curlyginger]

She is definitely a she! She lays lovely bluish green eggs.
