What is this chicken?

EE is Easter Egger, his tail might not have grown in yet or might have been damaged by other birds.
The color is almost 100% rooster and his saddle feathers also say rooster (the ones hanging offer the side), spurs can take months to grow in, in that picture of Chipmunk he was about a year old and see how little they are.
Thanks

Young cockerel, (rooster) proabbly young enough his spurs and tail feathers all haven't grown in yet. He does look like an Easter Egger.

Thank you all so very much!
I was hoping for a hen (neighbors will not be happy).
They may make a fuss when he starts crowing.
I really want to keep him. Dang.

Your boy is young - a cockerel (boy, under a year) who will become a rooster (boy, over a year).

Spurs do not start to really grow until closer to a year. His tail will come in - it is starting I can see it.

EE - Easter Egger - a chicken who carries the blue egg gene and generally (but not always) has a muff, beard, pea comb and slate colored legs. There is no color standard (nor APA or show standards) for EEs, so they come in a rainbow of colors.


He will start to crow - the strangled noise you heard this morning was probably a practice.

and Thanks for taking him in.
