Lord Featherington is a lord, right? EE at 12wks

[ThePhoebeFive]

By 12 weeks, it should have much more pointy saddle and hackle feathers. It's tail would probably be more curved and an EE roo with that coloring/pattern would have red wing patches. It's a pullet.

Thanks! I don't have as much experience with the EE so I appreciate the education and stand corrected!

What makes you think this is a pullet? I really don't see it. Combs don't make a rooster.

It has no pointy hackles and zero saddle feathers which it would by now. Plus no comb development which it would also have. As well as a female specific and even color pattern as opposed to splotchy red all over.

Glad you were willing to learn

Of course. I couldn't see it before but I looked up some photos of EE roos and I definitely can now.

That’s awesome! I’m glad

One of my EE cockerels (on right in first pic) I had a while ago. You can see how splotchy he was and different looking even as a baby. These are between 8-16 weeks and not in order but yeah. Yours is a pullet.

I am literally blown away by the pullet responses! I’ve been set on this one being a cockerel for 6 weeks. I guess we’ll see!!!!

Yep, with those robust tail feathers, that has to be a cockerel!
Some breeds just don't grow combs as fast as others. That comb looks like a single comb.
I love the name!
