I don't think males ever get a salmon colored breast, so pretty sure that's a pullet.

Wrong comb and leg color for a typical EE.
Too young to sex.

Yeah someone just posted that she could be a brown leghorn & I looked up pics and they very well may be correct lol. Didn’t know about single comb vs not. I’m learning so much already just signing up lol. Plus the no tail thing is peaking my interest

Looks like a Welsummer, but could also be a Brn Leghorn or Speckled Sussex. You'll be able to tell when there are more feathers. They all look alike as chicks. Often the sharp, clear V and eyeliner = females but not a "rule"

I swear that I can see color in the ear already. If so, I'd expect a lot of comb change over the next couple weeks and that this one is a cockerel.

The chipmunk look is extremely common and seen in many breeds as well as mixes. Where did you get your chick? What was it sold as?

We got her at a feed store, she was not labeled & was the only one that looked like her. The lady was unsure & only ventured a guess that she thought possibly Ameraucana...which is apparently not correct lol

Fortunately I found out there's a swap near us quite often. And this chick's 11 year old owner is cool with sending chick to a friend's farm and picking up a guaranteed hen.

I was wondering about the neck feathers on these 2 Easter eggers. I'm new to chickens and none of my chicks have had feathers like the ones on the back of the neck of these 2. They are 5 weeks old. Could they be rooster? Or is this common for Easter egger?
