Sexing this EE 4.5-5month old

[ats808]

Okay I’ve made a long thread months ago as this ee has grown.

I have one barred Rock rooster who is a complete butthole and walks around with his two hens. They all now live together with for other chickens.
2 silver laced Wyandotte’s
1 RR
And the Ee

I’m trying to really figure out if it’s a she or he

No crow or anything
I’ve tried everything possible to check every other week for anything knew after reading up on how you can sex your chickens.
I don’t see spurs growing as the BR had already been growing spurs since 4 months old
Legs are green which I’ve been told females are green ?? I’m not sure about that
He/she had muffs its tail feathers aren’t as long as most Roos by that age. Idk it is still too early?

Cockerel...The wing color is one indicator and also the saddle has indications on pointed feathers. I have them they are hard sometimes.

I'd be inclined to agree that it's probably a boy. The darker patch on the wings is one thing- do you have photos of same age EEs that you think are girls for comparison? I compare leg/feet size - not fool proof, but a good clue - feather pattern, and of course, compare the combs from my known females.

Unfortunately this is my only ee- it was sold as a pullet to me as a chick but I knew a day later it has to be a future roo.
Someone on another site says she’s got a full grown pullet had the exact same ee as me so she thought it maybe a pullet.

When would I hear crowing?
My older chickens who thought their was their place actually got kicked off away from the area from all 4 smaller young chicks or possible spurs?

I've had cockerels crow and quick as 7 weeks and others 6,7 months. It's kinda up to them. In the coming week pay attention to the feather at the base on the tail. I though I saw a few starting to get very pointy.

if you can remember back also another indicator is cockerels combs get red much quicker than a pullet. around 12 to 15 weeks in a young cockerel and 16 to 19 weeks for a pullet in that breed.

It appears to be an EE cockerel to me. Sometimes if there is an older dominant Roo, the younger may not crow as soon or sporadically. My Black copper Marans was fine with my EE Cockerel until he started crowing, now he tries to chase him down to kick his butt.

I agree, I believe you have a cockerel there.

The other thing that pushes me in the 'cockerel' direction is the three distinct rows of "peas" on his comb. Pullets generally have only one. But, it's still not impossible to be a pullet … but I'd be marking him down as a cockerel. Maybe take another picture of his saddle feathers on a drier day.
