Rooster or Hen?

[justaballerina]

This is Dotty, when I bought her/him I was told Ameracauna pullet. She/he was only a few days old. Now at 8 weeks I am starting to think maybe its a rooster and probably an Easter Egger. We have 7 chickens and Dotty is the least friendly, she/he has even been slightly aggressive towards the others. Here are some pictures.

I would say Dolly is a David. But, others will be coming to pass judgment so don't do anything rash

Dottie is indeed an Easter egger cockerel.

That chick is without a doubt a cockerel.

 

[justaballerina]

Oh bummer we were really looking forward to some blue/green eggs.

 

[justaballerina]

Is it because of the comb that you can tell it's a cockerel?

 

[junebuggena]

It's the bright pink comb and the dark patchy red on the wings/shoulders. My boy looked pretty similar at that age.

Now he looks like this.

 

[justaballerina]

Oh yea looks very similar. Thank you!

That chick is without a doubt a cockerel.

I agree. Sorry. (

Definitely an Easter Egger cockerel, sorry.
