I picked up two chicks at a chicken swap about 4 weeks ago. One, the owner knew was a cream legbar and was very confident a pullet. She said they were about 7 or 8 weeks old. The other she told me was a mix and she wasn't sure if it would be a male or female. So now that they are around 11 to 12 weeks old, I am wondering if you all can tell? Looks like it has Easter egger mixed in, doesn't it?

Yes it does look like it is mixed with Easter egger because of the beard and comb. I think the breeder overestimated its age by a couple of weeks at least. Looks about 9 weeks old to me. And even though it has little comb growth so far, I suspect it is a cockerel because it has some brighter red coloring at the wings/shoulders coming in. But I'm not 100% sure on its sex so alerting others for more opinions. @RoostersAreAwesome @Tookie
