I’m 0-1 so here’s another.

Six week old EE. The feather variation is, well, really varied. Pullet, cockerel, or too young to tell?

I really don't know. Leaning cockerel I guess. It would help to know where she was got from, what gender she was sold as, etc. I have an Easter egger that looks very very similar. She is 12 weeks old today, but she only now started showing a red breast. First 2 photo is her at 6 weeks. Third photo is her as a chick. Last few photos is her now. Sorry that most of the photos are not only of her. She's very skittish and usually just snoops around in the background.

I got her/him as a pullet from Meyer but they got one of my OEs wrong and im suspicious about this one. The comb is still not red or big like the OE but maybe it’s just slower to develop…
 
Appears to have female-specific feather pattern. I'm not sure if it's (x color) duckwing, or partridge? (Those confuse me)
*edit not partridge. Forgot what our partridge birds look like

Compare it to pictures of Crested Cream Legbar and Brown Leghorn

I'm not saying that's what she is. Just to give an example of why I think her pattern appears female-specific.
One week update!
