What breed & sex is my "Free" bonus chicken from Murray McMurray?

[SmokinChick]

Here are some pics. He/She is 8 1/2 weeks old. Much smaller than the CXers it is rooming with. I'm guessing a EE due to tufts, really concerned with the sex. That will determine if it stays or goes, sadly!
Thanks for the help.

I would be inclined to say an EE, too. Don't make any decisions yet, but seeing a red comb like that on an 8 week old chick makes me think boy.

I agree. And I definitely would lean towards roo with that one. All the black and white EE's (even the EE's crossed with others) I've had so far have been roosters.

I agree, there is no waiting or debate or "iffy" on this bird. That coloring and comb are male. Plus, it's the free chick--like 90% of them are male.

many people see black and white and automatically say it is a cockerel. This case it happens to be a cockerel. I have had and seen many hens that are black and white. But you should never go by that. BTW when i said coloring I meant because it is patchy and not uniform like a hens would be

ya, i have never gotten a free chick that is a female. The packing peanuts are almost always males.
