Wondering if my hen is an EE without head feathers

[CHlCKEN]

I know, but I had 10 hens and did fine without a rooster. I only wanted 2 hens this time. I just got a replacement, she looks just like the gray one. Fingers crossed she doesn't show any signs of a roo.

Ok that’s fine. It’s not like the NEED a rooster, however, if you have just two hens then you shouldn’t keep him because he may overmate.

Depends. Some EEs can have no face fluff yet they still lay blue eggs. I have a EE that have no face fluff.

Ok, I was thinking that. Just have never had a pullet with no head feathers. Thanks

I bought her from a breeder. I'm confused, I know Ee are a mutt breed. I've never seen one with no head feather. Her sister in the back shows the true signs of an EE.

Some don’t have muffs and beards

X3 that the "sister"is a cockerel.

I would love to see them because sd he looks male, especially with the male specific coloring.

I was wrong, you are correct. He was checked by vent when he was young and no signs till the other day. You are 100% correct.

She's a pullet I'll try and take a better picture. Later today.

That bird is absolutely a cockerel

EEs can be a bit tricky but the red leakage is a big sign that it's a male. Hes gorgeous though.
