This is our 7-8 week old Easter Egger from the tractor supply pullet bin. What is everyone’s thoughts? Hen or roo?

Looks like a roo to me but not sure also got an Easter where that was supposed to be a hen & ended up aRoo. Mine is only 8 weeks and already crowing & doing his thing with the hens
 
As said above, you've got a cool looking cockerel! And based on his crest is likely a Legbar (or Color Pack) influence for green/blue egg genes.

With his color and barring, he'd likely sire some pretty interesting chicks if you can hang on to him!
 
I know it's not an Easter egger. I got eggs from a friend and only got 1 chicken out of 6. Not even sure the breed but doesn't look at all like the roo that i have. I knew my other one was a roo weeks ago
