What gender and breed is this?

[meganhundley]

Hey guys, I'm new to BYC and realtively new to chickens. We recently got a couple chickens from a friend that didn't have room for them anymore. She believed 1 of them to be a cockrel but we're still debating that. We also have no clue as to what breed he/she is. Any ideas you guys have would be much appreciated. I tried to post some pics but it won't let me for some reason so I'll continue to try to post a pic in the comments below. Thanks guys!! Love the site!!

Omg, Im so sorry to waste y'alls time, I can't figure out how to post a picture, lol. When I try it keeps saying embedding image and then... nothing. Any ideas on that as well? Lol

Well I was going to just set the image as my profile picture but it won't let me do that either.

I want to say an easter egger hen.

See, I thought it was a hen too but it has been trying to mount my other hen and ive seen some pics of cockrels that he/she looks similar to but the tail definitely looks hen-ish and theres no comb. At all. And it hasbt tried to cock-a-doodle-do yet. So you think its an EE hen?

How old is she/he?

I think you right, I just searched Easter Egger hen images and there are quite a few pics that look just like her. Thank you for giving me an idea of what I have, lol

I'm not sure. They never told us, I'm assuming just a few months. Do you have a good guess as to how old you think she might be?

If I base it off of my own two EE, I would say somewhere around 17 and 20 weeks, maybe less.
