She EE or He EE?

[Mamahalo]

I know Siouxsie is an EE, but idk if she is a he we will have to start calling her Sue! She never crows like her RIR buddy Maggot in the 3rd pic. Def the big boy in charge. But until his comb went super red I thought she must be the Roo. Now I'm not so sure... but look at those tailfeathers. That screams Roo, don't it! They are about 13 weeks now.


Siouxie's tail.

Definately a roo and a beautiful one at that! If Maggot is the head roo, then any other roos may not crow.

It's a he EE, it has saddle feathers coming in and a monster comb for an EE. He is a handsome fellow! I love the green tail feathers!

Whoa! that's a roo for sure.

My EE roo doesn't have half that plumage yet and he's older.

Oooooh! Well that makes sense... So, how many more ladies do I need to make both boys happy, can't get rid of either and it leaves me with one potentially good layer. Special needs Rio may not live long enough to lay.

Oh my...yours looks like mine...gorgeous roosters!
Mine is 16 weeks.

I would say Maggot is a roo also, you need 8-10 girls per each boy....or at least 15 pullets

Hrm, well... def same colors but that comb is wayyy bigger than Sue's. She just won't stand still long enough for me to get a good pic on my phone!!!
Here is a better one.

It's been that size and shape for weeks now... hasn't gotten any bigger.
ARE WE SURE!!!!! omg I don't want 20 chickens

I am sure..and hate to tell you...you have a roo also...notice the hackle and saddle feathers...sorry....

It's definitely a rooster. 100% positive.
