Got this pretty bird...

...today at the feedstore. I'm guessing in the 8 week age range +/-. What say ye?

I think it's closer to 12 weeks, but I'm certainly no expert!!

Very pretty EE and I would guess pullet but I reserve the right to change to roo seeing how the comb is coming in. Hard to tell on EE's but if it is only 8 weeks old, it might be a roo.

Easter Egger rooster.

EE cockerel

I would guess between 8-12 wks range.

I'm guesstimate closer to 16 week if its a pullet, if ya think its younger then I'm guessing roo.

 

[EELover]

That looks like a pullet to me. The comb is very small still and the wattles are not apparent. I had a 6 week old roo with a much larger comb than that.

EE roo, and I agree with closer to 12+ weeks than 8.

He has pointy, skinny feathers around his neck (aka hackle feathers). Plus, EE hens are rarely white, but the hackle feathers are a 100% identifier.

There will never be wattles. It's bearded.
