Is our sweet Easter Egger a Rooster?

[4 Sweet Chicks]

Hi Everyone,
We are new to BYC and we bought a hen for each of our four children. I am concerned that one of them may turn out to be a rooster. What do you think? They are 11 weeks old now and I am concerned about the Easter Egger. I appreciate any wisdom or advice from the veterans

Well, I don't want to burst your bubble, but that EE has the classic "Roo" coloration for an EE. The red shoulders, particularly.

As a side note, my dominant rooster is an EE and he's wonderful. Very diligent, respectful to the hens, and I think he's gorgeous.

He is gorgeous! Unfortunately, we are not zoned for chickens let alone a rooster. If 'Pearl' turns out to be a rooster, we will have to find him another home which will break my kids' hearts as they have already grown so attatched

I hope he turns out to be a she! But enjoy him just the same. Enjoy your chicken adventures!

Hi and from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. Maybe you can find him a home where you can visit him.
