Found this girl in our backyard

Not knowing age one can't be positive, but I'm reasonably sure that's an easter egger rooster.

I agree with the others: you got a nice Easter Egger cockerel there.

That is definitely an Easter Egger cockerel, not a pullet.

The stance on it looks very roo-ish, and most of the EE's I've seen in with this coloration are males. That being said, I have seen one that was this color, had pointy hackle feathers, and was a female. I say boy, but give it some time.

Thanks to all! I re-read my city ordinance and it seems I can keep a rooster as long as he is not "noisy". I guess I will hang on to him until he lets out his first crow and see what the neighbors say. In the meantime, hubby and I are heading out tomorrow in search of a couple of girlfriends for him.

RE YOU MISSING OR LOOKING TO ADOPT AND/OR BE WILLING TO HOUSE A LOST GUINEA HEN?

Anyone from or that lives in the Cleveland, Ohio area? I don't own anything(animal wise), but 2 cats. I came across this website in hopes to help a neighborhood Guinea Hen. This poor guy has been roaming the neighborhood near East 30th & Cedar Avenue for practically a year now. I first noticed the guinea thinking it was a turkey, but at closer examination realized it truly wasn't. This guy first showed up around September/October of 2012. He's been hanging out around the Tri-C Metro (Downtown) Campus. I've witnessed individuals throwing rocks and other dabree at this gorgeous creature. I don't hardly know a thing about Guinea's except to say that it needs to be found a place to go. Somewhere that's much safer and healthier than hanging out around and in the hood. This guy whom I named Lincoln deserves a home!!!
