Rooster Easter Egger?

[tenfairytoes]

Bought a hen suuuuure looks and acts like a rooster to me. It's an Easter Egger from Northern 40/Big R The red and silver/white one in the center.




Thanks!

That's a boy. The 'pointy' feathers don't start growing in until around 10 weeks. And it takes a week or so after they start to grow in to be able to see them.

X 2 - he'll grow his "Fabio" saddle and hackle feathering soon enough - but what *is* evident at this point is his nice, red, three rowed comb.
