Is Bob a cockerel or pullet

[Nicci0110]

Bob is a Murray mcmurray ameracauna. So Bob is an Easter egger. Bob was sexed a female but gives major cockerel vibes. Bob is 4 and half weeks. Does anything point to cockerel or pullet yet? Bob pooped in my floor to let me get these photos

I am thinking cockerel based off of the comb

Yeah me too. It is hard to see the feathers in the picture, but I’m leaning cockerel. I think Bob is well named

I'm going to go with cockerel too. He has the same coloring as my EE that turned out to be male by that age. Do you see any red/rust color showing on his shoulders? Hard to tell from photos but that would be male specific coloring.

Bob has a rosecomb. It's not red. Bob's feather pattern does not appear to be patchy. My guess is pullet.

Bob is just brown. Very dusty brown color

Ok great! Keep an eye out for the rust color which will appear around the 6-8 week mark. Give or take. Easter Eggers cockerels will have more splotchy coloring than the pullets.

I'd recommend taking an updated pic in a couple weeks in natural lighting (sunlight).

These are with and without flash. Bob has been rowdy since day 1. Roosting at a day old after shipping to MS. Shes always been a tad bigger. My other one they sent o ly has half a deformed wing
