I have this OE that I'm pretty sure is a rooster but I guess I just need to hear it from someone else! LOL I think he's about 12 weeks, but I am not 100% sure.





 
Doesn't scream roo to me.

The comb isn't all that big and is only just flushed reddish pink. I'm leaning towards pullet, but I'm not knowledgeable with OE's
 
Well I'm glad it's not just me! I was thinking girl for a while but now I swear I see some sickle feathers coming in. I will have to get a pic of his/her back.
I wish I could remember exactly how old this chick is - I think 10-12 weeks but I had OE's hatching every couple of weeks and I'm not sure which batch it came from!
It's a cross between a wheaten marans and my EE hen. For whatever reason these chicks take forever to be sexed :( They all feather in really slowly and none seem to have obvious male or female coloring...
 
I hope this doesn't quadruple post again - if it does I'll stop posting off our laptop!
Here are some pics of this chick's back - still look pullet-ish?

I just wanted to update that this guy was indeed a roo. I knew I wasn't crazy! LOL
These were taken in early September but I just thought to come back and update.
It's a shame - he was really pretty!
