I'm curious to know what it is about the gray one that makes people think it is a roo (besides the crowing).

 

[M To The Maxx]

That is defenitly a rooster.

I didn't think it was a roo. it has rounded saddle feathers, like everyone been saying how to sex these EE's...
I would wait just to make sure it doesn't lay an egg...

My EE's have tail feathers just like this too and mine are all pellets....I think.

and hope...

I have 2 18 week old EE's and I could tell at 14 weeks that Masala was a boy - he had loooooong curved tail feathers (different than yours), spikey hackle feathers, a very red comb. Masala's comb looks like yours but the tail feathers are completely different. Plus Masala was getting *very* pretty. Shiny, fancy feathers, multicolored, etc.
He just crowed for the first time 2 days ago and hasn't since then.

Maybe give it a bit more time?

Masala at around 14 weeks with Tikka (definitely a pullet) in the background.

A comb that big and red at that age is a definite indicator of a roo.

Well, I guess I'm gonna give it a couple weeks to be sure. If she's a HE, he's gonna be up for adoption!

 

[Happy Chooks]

Darn, wished you were closer, I'd take him.

He certainly has "feminine" looking saddle feathers to me......

By 12 weeks all of my cockerels had feathers that definitely looked like rooster saddle feathers.

I have EE hens that are 14 weeks old and their combs are also red.
