Let's play "pullet or cockerel--EE edition"!

[deidreg]

Olive is a 10 week old Easter Egger that I've had for two weeks. Olive is the most aggressive of my flock of five and has spent a couple of days in chicken jail for pin feather pecking. The older hen, Rhaega, keeps Olive in line. I suspect Olive may be a cockerel because: Red comb, mild aggression, big feet relative to the other pullets of same age/size. Rump/tail tells me pullet, but I'm not skilled at this game. Take a look and tell me what you think!

Let's Play!

I’m thinking cockerel.

It’s a boy!

Early returns are unanimous for cockerel.

Anyone disagree?

It looks like your Olive is now an Oliver! My easter eggers name is Olive too!

Here is my EE at 9-10 weeks mine is a pullet I believe.

I don't see anything that says cockerel for certain, but EEs don't have feathered feet/legs. Olive seems to be a mix of EE and something else.

She's an ee, saying she's an ee and something else is like saying it's a mutt mixed with something. Eastern Eggers aren't a breed, they are all delightfully unique.
May cochin for the chaps?

EEs are mutts to begin with, but I'll say it again, they don't have feathered legs.
