I know it's early, but. . . 5 wk old EE

[AntiqueB]

I have a 5 week old EE, the first bird I ever hatched! She/he beat the odds -- small pullet egg, temp and humidity swings, pipping in the wrong place -- and therefore I really love her/him. It was also an only egg, so we're attached.

Any ideas about gender? I know it's early, even worse as an EE, and I'll post again in a couple weeks. Thanks for your help!

Looks like a pullet. That's a female pattern, and I don't see the messiness on the wings that would indicate cockerel.... so I'm going with pullet for now.

I agree, looks like a pullet, so far.

Yes, looks to be pullet with that colouration

Yea! I was hoping she was a she, but I was so afraid to confirm it! Thank you!!

I can't believe my luck.
