I know it NOW, trip, but he's had me fooled till about three days ago! The tiny comb, the no wattles... sigh. He's been a Sneaky Pete!That'sa cockerel. You know this, Blue, you are just in denial
Bloody Eggers!Yes, a male = cockerel
So what will his name be, Sneaky Pete or Bloody Egger?He's been a Sneaky Pete!
I will follow up. It's a learning process. I'm a little disgruntled about him lacking the rusty epaulets though. Later I'll post a pic of a Prairie Bluebell Egger that feathered out almost snow white as a chick, so I named her Spook. Well, she popped some color and is now more red than white. But she lays lovely blue eggs!
I had two prairie bluebells(still have one) and one was a solid off white. The other is a mix of blue/gray, white, and rusty red, she's so pretty and can fly really well. She lays a bright blue egg and the one who passed laid a pretty green egg. That's one thing I love about these mixes, it's a surprise with themI will follow up. It's a learning process.

Yup! It's why I love my Eggers!
It sure is a learning process! Are the rusty epaulets indicitive of a make or female? I have only one Easter Egger and one Starlight Green Egger (both now 8 weeks old). My EE is black with white spots and a little crest on her headI will follow up. It's a learning process. I'm a little disgruntled about him lacking the rusty epaulets though.

Red leakage on the shoulders in Easter Eggers almost always indicates a male.
