Help me sex this easter egger?

[aviddamy]

Hi

My daughter wanted easter eggers so we went to a local feed store and she bought 4 pullets. They are about 7 weeks old now. Just starting to get some pink on their tiny combs. I don't see 3 rows and they are definitely not single combs. Three of them are the typical color so I'm sure they are female, but I have one that is just different. Not brightly colored and the coloring is very even, but she/he is not the same as the others. I don't see any male characteristics but I'm new so who knows haha.

This is Teddy. A buff color with dark speckles Easter Egger. If anyone notices she has missing front claws, yep, she came that way. I am thinking maybe the chicks under her did that to her feet? The pet store has a weird brooder.I haven't seen any other pictures of a bird colored like this, so I thought I'd ask you guys what you thought. Is this a she? or a he?

It's too early to tell for shore, but for now it looks like a pullet.

I agree with the above looks like a pullet, but since EE are mutts there is little 'obvious' signs of sex at an early age unless they were bred from breeds that have obvious signs and you know what those breeds were so you can look for those signs... For your generic hatchery EE you really just have to wait it out to get verification of sex sometimes...

I say Pullet also,

I have lots of EE mutts and all those looking like that have been females..... At 7 weeks I would think a rooster would show by now.

I'm leaning toward a pullet as well.

I'm thinking pullet, for now.

At 7 weeks due to color and width of comb, I'm guessing cockerel.

Let us know when it hits 4 months, saddle and hackle feathers should tell the tale by then.

Here is what I think she will look like:
