What is this? Supposedly an EE. Roo?

Rose comb. And that's fuzz. I'd still suggest waiting until 12 weeks to be 100% sure.

I agree, it is a rose comb...not sure on the beard issue, but I would wait awhile before calling it a cockerel...

But it is a cockerel?

Wait 2-3 more weeks to be more certain...still a bit young...

Any indications on this 9 week old SLW?

It has muffs

I agree that it has muffs. I would not call it a rose comb either. It lacks the spike. Looks to be just a pea comb that's not too developed. Looks very similar to my Light Brahma cockerel's pea comb at that age. It should develop rows with age

I know it has muffs, they were very apparent when it was smaller in comparison to its non muffed brooder mates i also have a SLW, that’s a few weeks older and it has the “spike” on its rose comb.
