7 or 8 week old americana or EE. Is it a hen or a rooster? What do you think?

My daughters told me to ask you, "Are you sure?"

I agree. Lot of red in that comb for only 7-8 weeks.

Definitely a roo. The comb and shoulders are both give aways.

Well- he is a rooster. Beautiful feathers and a crow that had all the hens yelling at him.

Definitely a roo. The comb and shoulders are both give aways.

Could you tell me what you are seeing on the shoulders that gives it away? I have 8 Americauna chicks and was trying to find how to tell.
thanks,

the reddish color on the shoulders/wing bow is a rooster sign. There's a great thread about sexing Easter eggers that has lots and lots of pictures to help train your eye!
