6 weeks old. 5 Easter Eggers. This chick ( for the time being known as Betty) is larger than the others and his/her comb is a bit redder. Also... really stand -offish...
while the other four hang out in my lap at every opportunity.

Pretty bird! Yours has feathers more uniform and less blotchy than I would expect on a cockerel. My EE cockerel was the last to fully feather, friendliest of all my birds. I was suspicious, and at 12 weeks he started a soft crowing in the morning.

A little early, buy my guess would be Cockerel, never had a pullet that was uneven in her pattern, but I'd keep an eye out on this one for sure, also never had a 6wk pullet have a comb like that, size and color. Keep us posted and hoping I'm wrong!:fl
