Gender? Please help me figure him/her out

[jjohen]

So I have been haunting this forum for months wondering if my "extra" chick for warmth( in my small mailing of three bantams) was a roo. These birds are all about 3.5 months old now. I am thinking of getting rid of "him" but I still can't make up my mind about "him." He is an EE and he has always been a bit bigger than the other EE I got, as well as more bold/curious. Also his comb is slightly bigger and a touch pinker (and has been for months) he has some iridescence in his neck feathers, but I am not sure if that is a sign or not. Also, I have heard so many stories of people’s sexed chicks turning into boys… so please tell me if any of the others look roo’ish. Thanks for your knowledge!

yep, I think you have yourself a rooster. And a very nice one at that

woops, judging from everyone else's responses I think I was wrong

oh well... live and learn i guess...

It can be hard to tell with EEs, but I don't think that one looks rooish. I'd wait a while before getting rid of it. I think by 3.5mos there would be more rooster signs.

I think it's a girlie. My EE roo was most definitely a roo by 3 months old...
