Hi -

I'd love some help on if anyone thinks these 7ish week old Easter Eggers are looking more roo-ish or Pullet-y?

I am leaning towards one starting to look more like a little roo - but not sure.

The first image is: Poka dot necklace watermelon (3 year old named it) - has brighter neck feathers)
Second is: Chipmunk

Thanks for your guesses!

So - I am going to share one more pic. PD Watermelon does seem to have some splotchy feathering on their chest. Could this be the first signs of the splotchy color of a roo? Or is this coloring on the side what is most telling with Easter Eggers? I think this same ones comb is slightly more pink and wider too.

So what do you think does this change anything?
This pic shows how the chest feather come around the side - but the whole chest is like this.
