Looks like a pullet to me so far. That color is a hen color, and I don't see any sickle feathers on the back near the tail.

I agree; she's a pullet. Also the comb looks to be a single row of peas instead of the triple row that cockerels typically have.

Definitely a pullet.

Thanks everyone!!!!!! I'm new to chicks. Inherited my full grown hens last year so was unsure. So glad to hear it! May be a dumb question, but can you tell what color eggs they will lay by their leg color? These two EE have green legs.

You're welcome. Green legs is a very common color in EEs and cannot be used to predict egg color although combined with that pea comb, there is a very good chance that her eggs will be some shade of green.

I think she is gorgeous. She has the most beautiful green eyes and the cutest muff. She is also very sweet and loves to be held. I have 1 year old EE's and get blue eggs and dark green eggs but not quite olive. Hoping to get an olive Egger in May.

Looks like a very pretty pullet to me. I'm glad I looked in on this thread, as I am raising 7 EE pullets and I learned some new things about them.

How old are yours? Do you have pictures? Love my EE'S

My girls are about 6 weeks old. Bought them sexed and I think they're all pullets, although the first one has a really well developed comb so far. Some of them are very similar, but each pic is a different bird (I hope).

Sorry about the poop. LOL.
