Is this Easter egger a male?

[Wallas]

Hi, first off I am a noob I made my account to ask this question I am positive this week old Easter egger is a male but I ordered sexed females I realise mistakes are common so, I turn to all of you for collective wisdom. Tell me what you think, male or female?

! It's much too early to tell the gender on this little one. If you post again in a few weeks we may be able to tell you then.

Will do, this ones neck and body is much bigger than my others it's got me worried. Thx for the quick response!

I agree. Good luck in having a pullet.

Watch for 3 rows of peas in the comb. That it best way to tell male from female in EEs.

Further thoughts--i would be encouraged by its color. If it were yellow I would be thinking cockeriell since most EE roos have some white feathers.

This is false. There are plenty of red/partridge type Easter Egger roosters out there.

It is too young to sex. I'd post new photos when it is 6-8 weeks old.
