Is this a cockerel?

Should be an Easter Egger pullet, have had them for under 3 weeks.

Looks like it to me! How old were they when you bought them?

They were tiny! So I'd assume a week or two. I mean, they're still tiny... Lol I didn't think I'd see signs at this stage yet.

There's another one with what looks to be tiny bumps for spurs but their comb doesn't have color and is smaller... Now I'm paranoid that I got all roos. Lol

I wouldn't worry about it, all of my hens and pullets have bumps!

It's early to know for sure, but ... look at the legs on that character!

EVERY chicken has the spur bumps. Some hens actually can grow spurs. Even cockerels don't start growing them until after 6 months.

Closeup pic, maybe. The beak to beak, looks no bigger than one of my barred rock pullets....fast forward to 10 weeks and size relative to chick is still the same....and comb is still larger than the other BR pullet. Both are pullets.

Verdict: keep watching.

You won't be able to tell this soon. If there is any other roosters in that baby flock they will do this. They will grab something like a stick and start running back and forth in a really funny way showing of to the lady's. Also comb size means nothing I had a couple of hens who had a fast growing comb that was vibrant red and just screaming you probably think I'm a rooster.

I would guess male.
