This is a pullet right?

Well, it's an EE, not likely from a breeder.

Lol, I know a breeder who does so I wasn't sure.

Hi all I have a chicken that is just shy of 7 weeks old. It is an easter egger and I think she's a pullet but the red comb is throwing me off. Her brother who is definitely a rooster has a comb much bigger and a bit redder. But could she be a roo as well?View attachment 2336974View attachment 2336975View attachment 2336976View attachment 2336978

Everyone else is probably a lot more experienced so don’t quote me, I can’t really see the butt, but based on just the comb looks like it could be a pullet. I had an EE with a much bigger and redder comb and we thought she was a rooster for ages but ended up being a pullet.

It could be from a breeder, most of my flock are EEs and we got them all from breeders. But there are lots of chicken breeders where I live, but idk about where they are.

Hi all,

I have updated pictures at 9 weeks of age. I tried best I could to get the neck feathers. Also the rust/black/white chicken you see is its brother for comparison. I can only keep one roo and I'd like to know if the white one will have to go sooner rather than later.

I say cockerel.

Please justify your answers if possible, so I can learn

It's a cockerel.
Look at that bright red comb.

Ugh...I really wanted one rooster, but now that I have 2... it really throws a wrench onto every thing

Rehome one of them or cull. Or just keep it till things change. I'm keeping both my cockerels till the flock dynamic changes till then I'll take it one day at a time.
