Identify me before...

..,my humans go crazy trying to figure it out. I am about 9 weeks old. I let them get some very good and close pictures today. I am very, very skittish and largely afraid of any sound or near contact with my humans. I am sometime bossy around the other chickens, although I'm not really aggressive. Can you help??

Being as we are new to this gig, and that the bird is just barely 9 weeks old, tell me...how can you tell from these photos that it is a rooster? I am just looking for pointers so I can figure these things out on my own in the future.

Big Red comb and big white splotches on the wings and chest.

Agree on the Easter egger cockerel.

for only 8 weeks, that's a lot of pea comb, and it's quite red. Pullets won't have that much comb at this age, and what they do have will be a fleshy pink color.
The feather color/pattern is also a giveaway. On Easter eggers, you just don't see females with this colombian type coloring too much. Female black and white Easter eggers have more dark, and it's more evenly distributed over the body.

There are some great threads here about sexing Easter eggers by color, with pics of birds at different ages.
