I'm thinking cockerel. Our EE pullets didn't get any pink to their combs until at least 14 weeks. I would love to be wrong though!

Well thats not fun. They have been together since day one. Think they will be ok? I have 13 other chickens also that I plan to keep only the pullets. I love both these.

If your wondering if you can keep them together then yes, if you have enough hens to go around as they mature and if they don't fight. It is possible that will not accept living together even if they were raised together (some roosters don't like to share the with other roosters). You have a 50/50 chance.

I'm keeping more then one male. They say 10 hens to every rooster. I think if they have grown up together you have a better chance at making it work. No chance when bringing an outsider in. Good luck.
