Everyone is 50/50 on whether this is a pullet or cockerel 😂

Those are my thoughts. Do you have a photo of your roo?

Once the saddles started and he hadnt crowed yet i was still skeptical... but hes loud now lol

Trying to find some earlier ones before his tail started and i wasnt sure what he was

But with the pics, im more trying to point out the saddles starting and kind of poking out everywhere like on your photo but hes too much of a photo poser

I've posted this chick a couple times, but so far no one can identify if this is a cockerel or pullet. Votes are consistently 50/50

This is a 10 week old Easter Egger. The brown on the shoulders is the same color on the chest. Single row of peas on the comb. There appears to be saddle feathers, but they are rounded and have been there since 6 weeks old. Has hen posture 95% of the time. Will duck down when challenged by other pullets. Has zero rooster attitude. Has not crowed, when other chicks from this group have already. Neck feathers are also rounded.


Any thoughts? I tried to include as MANY photos as I could.

Honestly I had the same problem until my definite rooster hit the age gained tons of rooster qualities and she started popping eggs

He's a boy.
Look back at the first pics you posted of him...notice the red/rusty patches on his shoulder areas?
Male.

There is no doubt it's a male.
