Pullet or Cockerel…Easter Egger?

[mommab85]

This is (I believe) my 9 week old Easter Egger. I ordered a random assortment along with 2 Easter Eggers from Meyer Hatchery so I’m not 100% confident. It’s supposed to be a pullet but it’s much larger than the other 10 from the same hatch and it’s extremely bossy. What do you think at 9 weeks, pullet or cockerel?

May have to wait a few more weeks on this one, but if I were to guess today, based on the size of the comb and size alone, I'd say Cockerel.

Because of those I was leaning a bit towards cockerel.. that and the thick beak and stance.

That’s another reason I was asking. I thought maybe they were too but I’m too new to this to be sure.

Thank you! I’ll update in a few weeks if I’m still unsure to see what everyone thinks.

I would wait a few weeks and repost.
