Sex of ee?

[Eggstatic ChickyDoo]

He(?) is almost 7 weeks. I was thinking he was a roo, because he's "meatier", especially in the legs, than my other ee's and at 4 weeks I thought his comb was redder than the others, but now all of them look about the same redness.
Sorry the pictures aren't the best. I can try later to get a better pic once I have a helper on hand.

Thats a mighty red comb! It looks like a cockerel from top.....can you take a full body photo of “him” and post?

It looks you have a cockerel

I've seen brighter red on a 7 week old. Do you have a pic from the side, with the wings?

I'm going with male. This is a very common color variety in Easter Egger cockerels.....note how patchy he is.

Your EE is probably saying, "Who you calling (patchy)?"

No, I'll try to get one tomorrow. Today he keeps insisting on being underfoot, but he won't let me pick him up :/

As an aside, does anyone have input about what age you can tell whether or not they'll be aggressive? So far he's a doll, but I don't want to get too attached until I'm pretty sure he won't be soup.

Some of my Easter Egger cockerels began showing signs of aggression as early as 5 months, with the majority having met their maker by around 7 months. It's so hard to tell, as each bird matures at a different rate.

Thank you.

Mine are 4 weeks and she is bigger than the rest. Her legs are thicker and she runs up to the others like she's the boss. Think it's a boy?
Then I have a small tiny grey one who is growing at a slower rate...should I be concerned?
