Roo or hen EE

[demonic]

Thank you everyone! Can you guys tell me what about the pics tells you cockerel?

He has pointier different tail and neck feathers which are called saddle feathers. Black and white are also usually the color of male EE’s and the comb is very red. His tail is also curved and has a blueish greenish color unlike your hens

Thank you so much! I had a feeling, but wasn’t quite sure…

The saddle, tail and neck feathers point to it being a roo.

Thank you! I’m just waiting for him to crow now

Here he is a few weeks later… hasn’t crowed yet, he’s roughly 21 weeks old… we do have a Brahma rooster that is very much in charge, but this one just hangs out with the other EE and two Wyandottes that are the same age…

It is common for only the most dominant rooster or cockerel to crow and for all others to remain silent to avoid being noticed.

Thanks so much! Yeah, we have another roo— a Brahma and he’s pretty much in charge of everything— he always looks stressed out lol
