We are second guessing.. Roo?

[dmachze86]

We have a confirmed Easter Egger Roo that's been crowing since around 6-8 weeks and has an obvious red comb. This Easter Egger was purchased at the same time. Approximately 12 weeks old now... has a pink comb but it's a decent size, no crow yet, but the feathers have us questioning. What's your opinion?

Females usually have a repetitive feather pattern. I'm interested to read other comments.

Feathers don't lie (in this case at least) I'm going to say cockerel

Cockerel.

I think cock. The red shoulders are what I'm going by.

I'd give it a little time. Unusual coloring for a pullet, but I see no male specific feathering.

Any updates?

Still no crowing but the tail feathers for us are screaming roo... showing some signs of rooster personality traits as well. Guessing just a late crower.

When my broody has hatched clutches that contain multiple cockerels and they are raised within the same flock/area, the dominant one will begin crowing and the others won’t crow at all or as much.
