Is this a rooster??

Is this Easter Egger a rooster? 5 weeks 5 days old. I swear I heard a rooster crow this morning and it has a comb already.

She's a Pullet.

I've had Pullets crow. It's not common, but does happen.

How many other's are with her?

 

[Mrstwoseven]

She’s with one other Gold Laced Wyandotte Pullet next to my 4 big ladies.

Then just those 2?

 

[Mrstwoseven]

Only two babies I have, yes.

I think he’s definitely a he, he got some pointy feathers in his tail today and his comb is pretty big for 5 weeks 6 days.

Your bird is a pullet. Also, for what it's worth, male feathering in the tail,saddle and hackles is not present for several weeks beyond the age of bird is now

my main reason for assuming it’s a rooster is I’ve heard it crow like three times!! Is that common for pullets? I don’t have a ton of experience with chickens, this is only my third batch of chicks.

Looks like a noisy young lady to me, too. If she was a "he," that comb would likely be a lot darker and wattles would be much more visible. As far as the crowing goes, the squeaky growl of a ticked off pullet can sound a lot like that of a cockerel testing his hormones!

Then again ... I'm convinced that chickens were designed to stump and confuse us, so time will tell!

Okay! This is great news because it’s name is “Flower” and my girls will be devastated if we have to get rid of it.
