we bought these as guaranteed pullets. this is #2 i am pretty sure is a rooster. he acts the part, too. kind of a wienie to my ladies. have real trouble getting good photos of their feet.

I am going to say roo, from his red feathering and stocky legs, sure looks boy to me. I hope I am wrong!!

Looks like my EE roo about a month ago.

 

[technodoll]

That's a boy all right!

 

[Nicole01]

Oh boy!!!

 

[fshinggrl]

Yep, 100% sure it's a cockerel. Sorry!

 

[EELover]

Another thing to consider. Does he have saddle feathers? They are at the base of the tail. Saddle feathers are narrow and pointy. Hens have wide, fluffy feathers at the base of their tail. By the looks of that comb, I would say rooster.

Yep, even when you buy them as sexed pullets there is still a slight chance of getting a roo in the mix.

 

[sunny & the 5 egg layers]

Rooster!

That color pattern--the whitish body with the dark red on the wings--is classic roo, you won't find a hen that color. If you bought is as a sexed pullet from a hatchery, etc you're outta luck. If you bought it privately from a breeder who guarantees pullets, take him back and get a girly girl.
