From a distance, your EE looks 'boyish' to me. Any clearer pictures to share?

Yea, he's a cockerel. He's got male saddle feathers, and male coloring on his wings.

Oh this wasn’t the original chicken we were questioning haha this is a different one. As they got older my RIR got more hen-like and this Easter Egger became more roo-like.
