Boy.

Yep, that's a cockerel. Very pink comb plus thick legs.

Dang. Kind of figured but was hoping otherwise. Thanks!

Can you get a good close up of the comb? EEs can look gender fluid. May be a pullet.

Roo is that a bad thing

Also wanted to add that you should wait and repost photos at 10-12 weeks, when comb deelopment will be more accurate. Pea combs are slow to develop. (single row with pullets, 3 rows with cockerels).

We don’t have enough hens for a rooster, unfortunately. He was supposed to be another she.

Thanks! I think the breeder will take him back, since he does sell cockerels also.
