Hi there! This is our 7 week old EE (BCM over Cream Legbar, per the farm we got them from). I'm unsure if this one is a pullet or cockerel, it's as tall as the sure roosters of the same age, medium thickness for the legs, but the comb is only just starting to grow and turn a little red. There are small nubs on the legs where I'm assuming the possible spurs will grow, but even one of our sure pullets has them too. There's also a little coppery color coming in, which I've heard mixed things about. I tried to get the best pictures I could, any help identifying would be great! We only have 3 sure pullets out of a straight-run 9, so the sooner I can get it figured the better.

I’m leaning pullet. :)
Thank goodness! I sure hope so. This one is one of my favorites and I'll be so heartbroken if it is a cockerel, since we're only planning to keep one, and that's already a hard enough choice!
