Definitely male.

Thanks junebuggena,

I guess I'll see how he grows out and cross him with my BCM's.

The red coming in on the shoulder/wing area is a sure indicator of a cockerel.

Any thoughts on these 2? I think the frizzle is male but still holding out hope for the grey one. They are 5 weeks, the peacomb is not quite as pink as it looks in the pic. Thanks for your opinions!

Yeah I think the frizzle is a rooster.
I'm leaning to the pullet side for the grey one.... We'll have to see as it gets older.

That's my thoughts as well although the peacomb has me a little worried but something about that one just screams female to me but I have a bad track record for choosing girls so we will have to wait I guess lol and I like your user name!! I think a chicken would make a great president

I have some new chicks that are 3 weeks old, they're all half white leghorn. One is half EE and has a pea comb. But it looks pretty big. I had another EE who turned out to be a girl but at 3 weeks her pea comb was much smaller. This one is all white. He also attacked a chick twice his size! Boy?

I've raised about a hundred Easter Eggers in the last year. That much comb development at just 5 weeks is a sure indicator of a male. That comb is huge. I think the Frizzle could be a pullet.

The frizzle is already growing wattles which is why I think it's male, doesn't that make sense? I seem to have bad luck with chicks
