The finished result may not look patchy, but roos feather in very patchy colorations when going through the awkward teen stage. Females, on the other hand, feather even uninterrupted patterns the entire time. If the bird in hdowden's previous post was completely an even red, then we would say it's a female. Those random splotches of red here and there are ALL male. He'll finish with nice fully red shoulders, but right now it's a mess.

i know but the person said a hen doesn't have rooster feathers and a rooster does not have hens feathers im not stupid i know what the difference is i was saying with my ee rooster he did not have any patchy spots or anything like that but he passed away but before he did he got a son and the son does not have any patchy spots either and my ee hen just looks like a hen brown and black feathers like i said birds are different even though their the same breed and it depends on the breed their crossed with to because my ee roos have no patchy spots on them i tell if their a rooster from their comes not colors because they have no patchy spots on them at all so you guys are saying ee roosters have patchy spots on them when going through their teen stage mine didn't have that so then not all of you guys are right then

Farmer boy, there are certainly plain-colored roosters but there aren't any hens with rooster feathers. If you have a juvenile brightly splashed with patches like a crazy quilt, it's a cockerel. That doesn't make the reverse true.

Read what I wrote again. Roosters can have plain feathers. Nobody is saying they can't. There are plenty of single-color cockerels. What we are all saying is when you have a chick brightly patched in color, that indicates that it is a cockerel. There are many cockerel signs and some of them are more certain than others. There happen to be some feather patterns that are certain one way or the other.

but mine are not a plain color ee roosters are not really plain color there are some but the ones i saw were not plain colored my young one that is still alive he is redish brownish color mixed together then there is black on him to and i know he is a rooster because he has a really red comb and he has his saddle feathers coming in and he is not bright colored he is dark colored and when he was just a chick he was all black with some brownish redish on him

This is what we keep trying to tell you. Young roosters will have a base color (in your case, black). They will then start developing blooms and patches of another color (in your case brownish red). You are supporting what we are saying.

not really since there is no patchy he was born with all of these colors on him and there just became more of it but black was just more primary at first but the other colors were already on him with his beard and stuff..

this is him see black brownish redish with some other colors this was a few days after he hatched so he has all the colors as he did when he was just a baby

Not all breeds will have roos will have patchy colors. I think Pele and Debid are trying to say IF you have a chick with patchy colors when it starts feathering, it is probably a roo.

Um, yeah... he's white with a giant PATCH of red in the middle! That's patchy coloring.
