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

[deidreg]

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.

Yes, I haven't seen other EEs with feathered feet. Olive(r) certainly has big feathering feet.

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

Yes, your EE's comb looks paler. What's her name?

 

[The Happster]

She's an ee, saying she's an ee and something else is like saying it's a mutt mixed with something.

Perhaps. But we would not call just any mix an EE. What makes it an EE? If the offspring of an Easter Egger loses some of those traits, does that still make it an EE? Where do we draw the line and say it isn't an Easter Egger?
If you mixed an EE with something else, it would be correct to say it's an EE mix.

I see no reason to think it isn't one just due to the floofy feet though.

It is indeed a cockerel.

That looks male to me.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

The OP’s bird is almost certainly male.

That comb is pretty huge for 10 weeks.. my vote would be cockerel. Tails on these guys can be really misleading but they do get pretty obvious saddles that come in. And often red splotches on the wings. My cockerel had a very similar comb at this age, and started developing his wing patches around 12-13 weeks. Watch for those and for shiny saddle feathers coming in. I had a much harder time with the hackles on my guy, but the wing patches and saddles don’t lie!

I have 2 EEs with lightly feathered legs.

One is a rooster who hatched from a blue egg that was blue inside, & out.

The other is a Cuckoo EE who hatched from a brown egg. She lays pink eggs with white, & sometimes brown speckles.
I don't have a good picture of her though.

 

[MysteryChicken]

I believe your chick is a cockerel.

This is my favucana Olive 21 weeks she has feather feet also so maybe your Oliver is also a favucana.

Lots of Easter Eggers are wanna-be Ameraucanas, and it is true that Ameraucanas do not have feathered feet.

But I thought "Easter Egger" was the catch-all term for any chicken that lays blue or green eggs, that does not belong to a specific breed. So some Easter Eggers could have feathered legs, just like some have beards and some don't, many have pea combs but some don't, and so forth.
