Possible EE rooster?

[Adhill2408]

This is my 5-6 week old easter egger. Was supposed to be a hen but I swear it was attempting to crow this morning. Typically I have been able to tell a rooster chick very early on but this one hasn't had any of the usual signs. Maybe mildly more agressive than the other chicks but nothing that screamed rooster. I have included some pics of her (or his) coloring and comb to help. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I think it’s harder to tell with EEs. I’m kind of on the fence with that one. Hopefully someone seasoned can help.

Pretty young for such a red comb. Some rust shoulder feathers, but not enough to make me think male. Overall, I think you should keep your eye on that one as it seems like may be male, but I’m not completely sure.

It's sure a male

Looks like a cockerel to me

Not sure how true it is but I've been told 3 rows on the comb usually means boy. Yours has the 3 rows and is very red so I would say cockerel.

Definitely a cockerel. That comb is really big for the age!

Heres an example of my pullet ee comb at 5 weeks. Much smaller and 1 row.

I agree that it's a cockerel!
