I *think* I know the answer...

Am I right in thinking this is a roo?
Easter Egger, I think? 12 weeks old.

Wonderful pictures! And yes it is a roo. He is really pretty .

Thank you!

May I ask how you can tell?

I don’t see roo traits yet.

She’s a pullet.

Looks like a pullet to me, but I'm not very confident either way.

I'm still learning. What made me think it could be a roo were these tail feathers. I'm happy to hear I may be wrong ...and still learning!

I'd say pullet but not 100 percent sure

 

[Painted Calls]

She’s a pullet.

Agreed!

I used to think the same thing with Easter Eggers! They usually have long, floppier tails than other breeds. It looks like this chick has female patterning, so I was thinking pullet. I will have to see if I can find the Easter Egger sexing thread, I learned so much reading through there! Was convinced one of my hens was a rooster until I read that thread. Lol
