Thanks for the responses. I hope you are right; I would really like to keep it.

For now, it looks like a pullet. But watch out for a reddening comb or blotchy coloring on the wings, as these would indicate male.

The wings are multicolored... is that the same as the blotchiness you speak of?

The different coloring that your bird shows on its wings are not "blotchiness"; I believe her to be a female. Male Easter Eggers often get darker, redder patches of color on their wings. Females have a more even color pattern. Here are some examples of blotchy red coloring on the wings of male Easter Eggers:

Both of these photos demonstrate the red blotchy coloring that Easter Egger cockerels get on their wings.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, Wyandottes7. Your explanation & pics did help. Will keep watching for rusty red in the shoulders.
