I bought this easter egger (or at least thats what I was told "she" is) last weekend. Over the past week, "she" has started to look more roo-ish to me. This is my first batch of chickens, so I'm not really sure how to tell hen vs. roo, but my friend said based on the shape of the head and the way the tail feathers are growing up, that it may be a rooster. What do you think? Roo or hen? We've named "her" Meredith, so hopefully we are right!

And also, what do you think he/she will look like when they are fully grown?

I'm not seeing anything rooish yet. Search around, you can find pics of similar colored ee hens here.
 
Here (s)he is today. I still think rooster--the tail feathers look different than all my other pullets. But I am a newbie, so what do you think? Still pullet? Or you think roo too?
