Hello everyone ! I'm new to the chicken world here. My husband and I live in Sunny St. Pete Florida and bought 5 baby chicks at a local feed store. They are about 3 months old now. 2 of them are Easter Eggers. We are wondering if this one is a rooster because a) It's always grown a bit larger than the others b) It's feathers haven't grown in as fully and rounded as our other Easter Egger c) it's tail feathers just started sticking up a bit more.

Can ya'll take a gander at let me know if Henrietta is actually a Henry? I have one photo where you can see the other easter egger behind the one we think is the Roo. Thank you!

She's just molting her juvenile tail feathers. No big deal. Definitely a pullet.

Exactly right. Pretty girl. That tail will molt out in no time and the shape will be different to your eye. Trust us, no boy there.
