Wondering if my hen is an EE without head feathers

[Mamatomany123]

Thank you, I'm trying to rehome him. I don't need and fertilizer eggs for baby's. Lol.

I understand. We wouldnt keep any cockerels if we ended up with one either. Hopefully you find a good home for him.

Roosters have other purposes too. Unless you really can’t keep him there is no reason to be rid of him just because you don’t need fertilized eggs.

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.

Correct

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.

Vent sexing isn’t 100% accurate, even when done by professionals, as you can see from your cockerel.

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.

Very pretty.... the one at the front COULD be an OE... but Ive been wrong before...

@bechicken I can 100% say that vent sexing is not at all accurate.... I was told by a vet that my pullet was a pullet... she started crowing yesterday.... and those that are telling you that you have a rooster you should listen....

and I withdraw my previous comment about a possible olive egger

First one's a female second one's a male, It is a pullet.

He is gorgeous!
