pullet

[Chickpalooza]

I bought some Easter egger pullets from a different location than usual, out of the bunch one sticks out. All the others are partridge but this one only has a couple feathers I would consider partridge. By all accounts I think this pullet is beautiful but what do you think?

How old is it? Red feathers usually mean cockerel but one of the parents is red for both sexes like a Barnevelder or sussex...

8wks old- we bought as a pullet and the comb is just as small and as yellow as her comrades. We also bought as an Easter egger so parentage is unknown. If it does happen to be a rooster I will probably replace one of my current ones.

Gorgeous bird! I am inclined to think this one is a cockerel. Time will tell.

These are the 3 other chicks we got (2 pics each) and the first one also has red. Like I said , the comb size and color is about the same .

I’m inclined to say it really could be either.
