Help with my EE

[doc1973]

Eggbert is our only easter egger and we are brand new to chickens. I have read all the colors, feathers, etc and now I am convinced he is a she. (my sons named them and didn't really understand they are girls).
He is black and white and acts very different from all the others! But as I said we are new to this chicken business and maybe that is normal for one to be more aggressive.



Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a pullet.

Pullet, at least for now. Why'd you think it was a cockerel?

so when I was reading on another post on how to sex EE -it said the back tail feathers are tight and most of the males are black and white! She is all black and white and longer and thinner. It said the females or pullets have orange on them. I'm still learning the terms!! as a doctor I still refer to them all as males and females!

It's a girl! Easter egger roos have splotches of color and pullets have uniform patterns. Plus, I think the comb would be larger by now. Yours has a uniform pattern and I don't see any splotches.

Patterns are not a sure way to tell, though the comb is a great indicator
