Ok folks here is pictures of mine. Please dont tell me it is a roo.
She is 22 days old today or maybe a few days older but I have had her 22 days.
A friend of mine named her specks as she looked like she was wearing glasses.
What is this pattern called? Someone said she was an EE Splash.

I have found on my EE's that they have to be much older before you can tell. The hackle feathers on this one look quite pointy which would indicated rooster but I have a quite a few hens that if you went by their hackles then you would think they are roosters but they lay. Unless there is a way to tell by wings or other on EE's I don't think you will be able to tell until a bit older.
 
I'm thinking pullet.

She is definitely NOT splash. Not sure what color she is; I'd wait until she is fully mature to guess. EasterEggers rarely end up being APA accepted colors, like blue/black/splash. Sometimes, they are close enough to call them a color (though really, they aren't). I had EE hen that I named Faun, because she looked so simular to the color.
