I think its an easter egger as much as i have been able to figure out..... thanks

comb and coloring coming in on the wings point towards a cockerel

how old is this chick?

 

[irol04915]

its about 4 months old

Rooster x2. Looks like a boy to me!

hmmm that means you got this one back in april correct? in that cas it should have the cockerel hackles and saddles which i dont see any at all and if it was a cockerel it would have more red by now as well. given the age i must say it is more likely a pullet instead of a cockerel

its the same chicken is in both picutes, i just thought it was good for a better view with both pics.....i got the chicken in june and it was a month old so i guess it means its about 4 months, the breeder that i bought my guinea keets from had this as the last chick in the cage so i felt bad and took it too.....but it has green feet so i have figured its an easter egger from my research....if it is a rooster can i breed it with my other hens and get other easter eggers????

yes as long as it does carry/possess the blue egg gene even if it's a hen and you put another rooster over it you should still get ee's. do keep in mind that ee's can lay any color of egg though

At 4 months it's a pullet.

x3 If that bird is 4 months old then it is totally a pullet. A roo would have a much bigger comb and waddles, not to mention saddle and hackle feathers growing in.
