Is this a Easter Egger mixed breed???

Okay lol that's what I was wondering! Glitches happen sometimes too, never know. Either way, looks like you're getting some good answers. I can't say for sure if it's a cockerel. I had a hen whose comb and wattles were big and bright starting at 12 weeks old. It happens. But if it is a cockerel, you should be able to see the beginnings of hackle and saddle feathers pretty soon, if not already.

It looks like a pullet to me. Would you let us know in a couple weeks?

Okay, thanks. Yep I will, I'll do my best to keep y'all updated. It's making more kinda hen-ish sounds. By that I mean just sounds more like a hen then my roo sounded like at that age. And, no signs of spurs yet while my roo had spurs developing by then. But the thing throwing me off is the tail feathers their very long for a hen. So as of right now it's the mystery chicken . Can't really compare it to much to my roo cause they're different chickens and breeds.

Also, I've only seen that deep red color on Rhode Island Reds, personally. You might have an EE mixed with RIR.

Here's a comparison photo of an Ameraucana mixed with Rhode Island Red.

Thanks!

Yup, I have two hens with tail feathers like that. The coloration looks very much like a pullet! I don't think she's a roo

Hopefully, thanks for your help! It's so sweet and energetic I would hate to give it away.

Oh gosh, Idk but I might see saddle feathers there! It's always so hard to get a good picture, isn't it??

Sorry for the waffling! But you see that section there? Can you tell how skinny those feathers are? I think I see some wispy looking ones. Those would be saddle feathers, if so!

If I'm just seeing things, then everything else says Pullet to me.

okay, that is a better picture. She looks how my Trina looked at 16 weeks. I say Pullet! I'd love to know someday if I'm wrong!

Yeah, if she's 4 months, and feathers look like this, probably pullet. Some of them pink up on their combs around 4-5 months, and lay around 5-6 months. But if those long skinny saddle feathers start to come in, it's a roo. I don't see them yet though. Around 15 weeks, most roos start to have them.
