Pullet or rooster

[Kayie_Rae92]

I’m really starting to think my white EE is a rooster. I’m newer to owner chickens and have only had hens. She/he doesn’t really have any saddle feathers, but that tail! She/he is also much bigger than my other two and they’re close in age.

EEs are mixed breeds, so taller doesn't really mean much. The experts will be along soon to let you know.

How old?

I think it's a cockerel, but to close to call with certainty. They look about ready to go outside.

They will be going outside soon, almost done building the addition to my run to make for smooth introduction to my current flock. Although he will be finding a new home if he is in fact a rooster.

That sounds perfect for them.

As for the EE, I do think it is a cockerel. Comb is large, and that color pattern is more common in males.

Ok, yeah, I’m kinda leaning that it’s a cockerel.

Color is fairly typical of an EE cockerel, but patterning is more pullet. 8 - 10 weeks? I'm leaning pullet.
