hello I posted a few weeks back and was wondering if this Easter Egger looks like a hen or rooster it’s eight weeks old? It’s the biggest of our chickens. Sweet one too.

Better comb pic?If it has three rows in its comb you have boy, your Ee looks Exactly like mine who is a cockerel and is 5 weeks old and is one of the biggest of our bunch.
 
Having 3 prominent rows in a pea comb doesn’t mean a male for sure in Easter Eggers or any pea combed breed.
I have heard that but wasn’t sure I’m new to chickens and keep hearing it’s hard to determine if Easter Eggers are male or female till they start crowing or laying eggs. We have couple obvious ones that have the curling tails already but not sure on this one.

It’s misinformation that some people keep pushing. Also having a curly tail isn’t always indicative of a cockerel.
Post some pictures of them for the folks on here to look at.
 
Here’s a picture of some of the others. The more white one in the picture with very little tail has started to run around pulling feathers out some of the other chickens.
