OK, just lie to me, alright? I really don't want Polka to be a roo :(

Can you provide a pic of Polka as a new baby chick? Your boy Polka is pretty much what I'm TRYING to get! The EE roos are magnificent, IMO. I crossed my sweet EE hen with our sweet Silkie Roo, trying to get myself a gorgeous rooster (like your boy Polka), and this is what I have so far:

This is the mom and the dad:

I think your boy Polka is going to be an award winning 3 year old rooster. It takes around 2 to 3 years to really grow up into their fullest potential. At this young age, your boy Polka looks like a winner!

Yard Candy.

That rooster is going to be sooooo pretty the angels will sing.

Yes, he's a roo. I had this same situation last year. I got about 10 chicks from the straight-run bin at Rural King, and 4 were roos. We re-homed all but the one that I had really been hoping was a hen. He's o.k., but I now have 5-6 roos (some from Rural King, one was sold to me as a pullet at a swap meet, and some were from an auction here (silkies). We now have to re-home all but one (my hens backs are a mess) and it's a tough decision. Good luck.

As I don't have EEs, I cannot give an educated reply about him.

However, I just have to say he is absolutely gorgeous!

sorry, absolutely a rooster... I have had that happen, too.

He is lovely. He's like a twin to my Splashy. I wasn't going to keep any roosters, but he turned out so pretty and so friendly that he had his ticket to freezer camp revoked.

Thank you everyone!!! Well, today, I rehomed Polka to my friend a few streets over. I really didn't want to, but hubby simply can't stand crowing, but this way I can bring him by in a few months and hopefully we'll get some beautiful babies from him!! He fell asleep in my arms as I was saying my goodbyes, but this way I can go over any time I want to and cuddle him.

6chickens, here are a few pics of him as a baby. I also cannot wait to see him in all his glory!!

I never expected to get such a handsome man from the baby he was!!
