Is this Easter Egger a pullet or a cockerel?

Hi, Everyone! Below are photos of Clara, an Easter Egger I received from a large breeder. I removed her from the brooder because she was really beating up my chick bantams. Is Clara a he?

How old?

Age is important to include. There is a point of time where a cockerel can look like a pullet who's close to lay, but there's a big difference in age between a cockerel at that point, and a pullet who's ready to lay.

It's definitely a cockerel

It's definitely a cockerel

I agree, based upon the size I see on the chicken wire, but I figured there would be no doubts if we had the age.

Yes age always helps! The white wing patches sent me to the definitely cockerel side
