Hen or Roo?

This little one is going to be 7 weeks this upcoming Wednesday, do you think it's a he or a she? Bonus points for breed and color? Haha

EE, possible Lavendar color

I think it is a male

 

[Chick-N-Fun]

Definitely an EE....
Hopeful Pullet!

What makes you guys say EE? It is clean faced with a single comb. I accept the legs may possibly be green and I know EEs don't have to have facial tufts/beards or pea combs but they usually have one or both. I'm just seeing a mixed breed bird. Just curious to understand your thought process....

Where did you get it? Was it a hatchery (normally they sell particular breeds or hybrids) or somewhere else where a mixed breed bird would be more likely or even home produced?

I'm not seeing anything obviously male about it at this stage but that is no guarantee it is a pullet. The comb looks quite orange rather than pink. Unfortunately none of the photos are the right angle to see if there are any wattles developing.

I bought hatching eggs from someone and they weren't sure exactly what it would be Haha.

My guess is female. At 7 weeks I would expect a bigger red comb and more wattles showing if it was a male. The leg size looks right for female

As for the breed.......

 

[Frazzemrat1]

What kind of chickens did that person have? Not knowing what may be in the mix makes it almost impossible to nail down what's in the mix.
For instance, I don't think there's any EE or Ameraucana in this bird, because pea comb is dominant and this bird has a single comb.
But white foot bottoms, gray legs... Could be Lav Orp in there, but not full. Who knows.

Mixed breed, and nothing screaming cockerel as of yet.

Pullet
Possible some sort of Orp or Austrolorp mix.
