Need help with sexing. I have an EE chick sprouting suspicious tail feathers

At eight weeks old, without a hint of pink in that comb, and no red shoulder patches, it's a pullet. She's just in the middle of the eight week 'mini molt'. There will be several partial molts throughout the next several months. You may see some funky feathers, at some odd angles. It's nothing to worry about.
Male specific feathering doesn't even begin to develop until about 10 weeks old, and it can take a few weeks longer for those feathers to be visible.
