Help?!

[HuevosGonzos]

Hi everyone! We are new to this site and are looking for some help sexing one of our ‘baby’ EEs. It is roughly 9 weeks. My husband thinks that it is potentially a dude , can anyone give us any insight? (Also added a photo of it about 1-2 weeks old)

thanks!!

What do you see that has you convinced? I’m learning!

I believe it’s a cockerel. Very red comb for that age. Also, often with males, copper is an indicator. Beautiful though!

The comb size and color and the red leakage on the wings. Heres an example of my 11 week old pullet (pea comb to compare)

Thank you! Here is one of the other EEs we got at the same time.

Thank you! Here is one of the other EEs we got at the same time.

The first is definitely a cockerel, leakage gives it away, can you get a picture of the back of this one as well?

Both are male.

If this one is only 9 weeks old then I'm saying that's a cockerel also.

We have two black ones. The first two photos belong to the same bird. The last two to the same bird.
