Need EE gender help??

[dirtroaddarlin]

I thought this was a pullet but now I’m not sure. Comb suddenly turned bright red but is not growing up. Sprouted longer tail feathers a few days ago. Born March 7. Help???

The one on the right appears to be a cockerel. I can't make a guess on the other one since the comb isn't showing. At this age, the comb is the only defining gender characteristic. You need to wait until around ten weeks for the feathering to start to give you clues.

agree

Both pictures are the same chick.

My vote is female, but agreed that it's too early.

Sure hope you’re right.

My youngest EE pullets were hatched in February, and their combs aren't nearly as developed or red as your baby's. I'm going with cockerel.

Haha, doesn't look like you have good odds...

It's not too early, and that's a boy.
